Advice Needed - Softer Suspension

Hi all. I've a 2012 C63. It must be because I'm getting older, but I'm beginning to find the stock suspension too harsh for my liking. This wasn't an issue when I first got the car 2.5 years ago.

Most after-market suspensions make the ride firmer, while I'm looking for a "softer" setup that can better cushion the undulations on the road.

Any advice on what I can do or which suspension/coilovers I can switch to would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What size and type of tires are you running? That would be where I started to soften it.

if you do happen to go the route of coilovers, i'm sure you'll receive quite a number of responses praising the performance of kw v3 coilovers, as you are definitely able to create a more forgiving and comfortable ride out of them. after i had mine installed, it was a day/night difference in the improvement of handling and those aforementioned characteristics over stock suspension.
