Just info if anyone tried before. Idk but any pothole in the street seem to hit really hard on the car even the not so big ones. So Just wondering if it'd help.

If anything these would make potholes and ride worse. These will effectively increase your spring rate and damping making everything even stiffer than it already is. I also don't recommend these in general because it puts stresses into the spring in directions that it's not designed for and can shorten the life of the spring as a result, but that's a whole other topic.

If you want to soften the ride, first thing I'd suggest is checking tire pressure. Make sure you're at the pressure indicated on the door sticker or even a couple of PSI below. If that doesn't help, can try tires with bigger sidewalls or trying to find softer suspension components to install. Not aware of softer components though since most people are looking to tighten everything up for better grip/control.

Keep in mind that this is a sports car and you're already on one of the softest suspension setups available from the factory for this platform. You're going to feel lots of little bumps and stuff that you're not going to feel in other cars no matter what you do, especially potholes (even the small ones).

Thanks, yeah a softer ride but your answer makes a lot of sense the stiffness added might damage some other parts of the suspension.
