There are a ton of aftermarket spring options out there if you want to lower the car, but since you're looking for some comfort, you won't find it there, especially pairing up with your OEM dampers... You may be surprised how much of a difference a softer tire will make.

If you're set on trying to change the suspension: If you have local meets, you can try to see if anybody that has a different suspension setup can give you a ride-along or let you test drive (maybe if you offer a 6pack or lunch or something). Or maybe you can stop by a local dealership to test drive a new stock 86/BRZ to see if finding a less worn set of OEM springs/shocks will do the trick. I will say, I very much doubt any aftermarket springs paired with your OEM dampers will net the result you seem to be looking for.

Good luck in your search!
Thank you for suggestions!
I read on this forum that changing from 45 to 50 tire will help, I guess I will try that next summer.
