All north American cars have the same ride-height due to bumper height regs. Since your car has ROW 030 it is lower than our M030. I don't know if it's lower than the European base suspension.

if you are running the turbo twist wheels on your car, the looks will not change much. no one will notice the difference. with the 17s on your car, inflated to factory specs (many overinflate), you will notice a notably less harsh ride. the first step would be to try running 30 psi in your fronts and 32 psi in the rears. on my car, I have removed the 19s from the factory and replaced them with 18s for the same reason. the ride quality has improved dramatically with no loss in the handling characteristics.

Also consider tire choice. Some have much better ride than others. Hankook V12s and Continental tires tend to offer a more comfortable ride. 30/32 tire pressure also helps.
