By definition, lowering means stiffer. If the same soft spring rate is kept on a shorter suspension stroke it will bottom out under compression. Elite ride on lowered springs is going to be elusive.
Its a personal thing, Elite is way too soft with body roll hindering progress. You cant input the controls until the damn thing stops wobbling around, and the wobble is very easily set off by corners, wumps and elevation changes etc.
If a comfy ride is number one priority, but your prepared to compromise that a little, mv6 is the way, but must be lowered sports chassis from face lift mv6 if you want it lower, but only by 15 mill. High frequency/smaller bumps are also more affected by tyres and pressures, so keep a higher profile for comfy ride.
Irmscher springs and B4 shocks here, and i love it. But my tastes are differant to yours by the sound of it. Imo only lower to the performance required. Lowering for appearance only is daft imo (sorry). But each to thier own.
