Need tyre and sus advice

Have yet to pick up my new ride and need advice on the tyre and sus setup.

i am after COMFORT not handling, i dont have a budget and will spend anything to get it like stock ride,

i have a set of 18x8.5 brabus wheels to go on the car, and also need tyres,

what is the best setup for COMFORT that will give a little drop to make the car not look like a 4wd with the 18s

THANKS

if u simply change the springs, and keep the stock shocks, u would get the softest setting while lowering the car slightly. while this is ok, keep in mind, most people suggest upgrading the shocks as well, but this usually results in a slightly tighter setup...

cool,

thanks my previous ide was down 55mm on stock shocks and it rode like crap on 16s, i suppose 18s and springs 30mm should be the right option then,

whats the softest spring available.....BRABUS/Eibach
