Failing suspension, Scirocco hurting

["Tobias M-G" <scirocco16v88@hotmail.com>]

I know the suspension question has been done a few times, but my question 
isn't Brand specific, rather, preformance/quality specific. The car 
currently has a Bilstein Neuspeed combo (exact type unknown) which takes 
corners like it was on rails, but also feels like it drives on rails - that 
is to say toss a penny on the track and I'll jump the rails.

The suspension is shitty - those little reflectors on the road are like 
sharp jolts .. offsets in the pavement have me in fear of my frame and 
windshield. We're talking bumpstop and beyond when I go over these.

What can I get that'll still give me a lowered look, but improve the ride 
quality? I figure the car is sitting 2" low .. no finger gap between top of 
tire and fender. I will sacrifice the low stance the PO thought was 
"carefully lowered". Something in the 1"-1.5" range?

My baby won't put up with this harsh ride too much longer .. the aligment 
was shot after 2 months, and just this weekend the rail that guides the 
sunroof when it tilts up snapped in two after I hit one of those vicious 
pavement changes.

Thanks for any info you can send my way. I have to save the car from these 
Scirocco-bashing California roads.
