Surely you should be putting that right? The job of suspension is to keep the wheels in contact with the road by minimising unsprung weight, and getting the correct spring rate and damping. Which is why I laugh when I see some old vehicle with a chassis designed for road use, with huge wheels and wide/20 tyres, because it will actually hold the road worse than standard (and probably aquaplane easily).
A lot of US cars seem to be set up with overly soft suspension as part of the whole can’t hear or feel the engine/can’t feel the road thing that Joe Average considers to be “premium”. But there is a happy medium - and, based on where we came in, Porsche are extremely good at achieving it. The 911 and the Boxster have usually been cars that can easily be used for commuting (in fact I know of two people who used to do precisely that, except on ice of course.)
