Better suspension(springs/shock absorbers) without lowering the car

Is it possible to upgrade the suspension without lowering the car? Looking for a better ride over bumpy terrain and pot holes. Threads on this forum point to the Swift Springs but it seems they lower the car as well. Thanks.

Have you looked at either the Koni STRT (Orange) dampers? Plug and play replacements, just use factory springs though I admit that I do not have first hand experience with these. I have however heard through a member who frequently autocrosses that these dampers seem to be valved less aggressive or softer than his wife's 2012 GE8 that they had at the time.

Bilstein also offers OE replacement dampers as well so you can look at their options for a known good, plug and play install.

Not sure what wheels/tires you have on the car. But usually tires with higher/taller sidewalls tend to better absorb bumpy roads.
