C63 suspension improvements for UK roads?

[PorkRind]

About a decade ago I owned a mitsi evo vi gsr. It would Corner on rails and would handle the uks broke. Tamac with ease and composure. What suspension is there out there for the c63 that can be set to be supple to be more forgiving on rough tarmac yet not list/lean over in the corners? Coil overs always scream stiff and uncomfortable but I'd be glad to receive some ideas.
Thanks

I'd recommend changing the wheels first if you can - a smaller diameter, lighter wheel with a slightly higher sidewall of tyre. You'd be surprised how much reducing the unsprung weight and increasing sidewall can improve compliance without turning it into a blancmange.

Is it a w204?

It is indeed and it rides on the 19's.
They 18s are that star shape arent they and although are nice, are nowhere near as nice as the 19's, unless i got some OZ super t's in 18..

Reading around you could actually go down to a 17 if you wanted to.

I suspect the standard cast OEM wheels will be pretty heavy, I'd look at 3rd party wheels, if budget allows then forged.

Depending on what widths you want to run you could even use a 245/45/17 profile.

ETA: I reckon either of these would look pretty good, perhaps in other shades and with Merc centre caps:
