These suggestions seem pretty good. I'd try going with a 16" wheel/tire combination first. The stock tire size is 215/45/17, so your best options in the 16" size will be 205/55/16 and 225/50/16. The DWS's are very soft for UHP AS tires. I might even go one step softer with "Touring All-Season" tires, like Continental ProContacts, Michelin Defenders, and Hankook Optimo H727's. The Hankooks aren't the best tires, but are known to have very soft sidewalls.
If the ride is still too harsh, then I'd try custom rate springs (or swapping in the FR-S front springs as mentioned above).
