I Thought Cutting Stock Springs Were Frowned Upon?

We have like a 95% same set up. My Konis are set to the middle set up on both front and rear, but I hate it here in LA, HOWEVER, when the guys drive me car, they LOVE that it corners on rails. But the streets of LA make me feel like I'm poor since I feel everything.
I wonder what my 3/4 Koni's/Stranos would feel like on full soft. Still better than stock? or worse?

Only really frowned upon when the person in question thinks its no different than lowering springs, or hacks away trying to slam the car thinking its not going to ride any different.
In your case, have you tried smaller (17") wheels? What about tires with softer sidewalls?
You may have larger sidewalls than normal for 18"s, but you still have the extra weight of the wheels/tires which certainly doesn't help.
Also noticed you have the adjustable rear bar, have you tried playing with that setting, setting it to softer? I know the rear bar will play a pretty big factor in how the rear of these cars ride.

Basically where I'm at is should I do cut stock springs with Bilsteins and call it a day or should I install my BMR 1" lower a-arms with stock uncut springs? If I go with the first option I could sell my BMR a-arms and recoupe some money because they weren't cheap!
