I know this will not be a popular request. But I am looking to soften up the suspension a little on my 2002 Boxster S. I don't take it to the track or run autocross or anything. It's a grocery-getter and (mostly) daily driver around town.

I want to soften up the suspension for a more comfortable ride for road trips. More of a GT cruising feel. Has anyone done this to their car? All the suspension info I can find is for optimizing suspension for the track and how to improve handling even more.

I know, I know, i know. Why not just buy a GT car if I want a GT. The Boxster is meant to carve canyons and have precise tight handling. Sports cars have a harsh ride and that's part of the deal. I get it.

I'm not looking to cruise down the road floating like an 80's Cadillac. I'm just curious if others have done this and what their experience was. I would drive this a lot more than I do if highway trips didn't beat me up so much.
