Have mostly done performance mods so far but now it's time to get the exterior in better shape. The car is running on stock M-sport suspension with tire and wheel specs as follows:
front: 235/35/19 MPSS with 8,5" et35 CSL reps
rear: 275/30/19 MPSS with 9,5" et25 CSL reps (org. et 40, but now w/ 15mm H&R spacers)

Had my rear fenders rolled two weeks ago.
It clearly needs a drop IMO but I still don't want to compromise how practical it is driving on pretty shitty and bumpy roads from time to time. So what do you guys recommend if I don't feel like dropping the coin on some coilovers?
Would new springs be sufficient or totally destroy the ride quality? Dunno when/if shocks or struts have been replaced.

What do you guys recommend?

Sorry for the crappy quality.
Great looking car!
