Default Back to stock or PSS9?

3 years ago I put Eibach springs and 18'' OZ's. While I immediately recognized the car being softer I liked the look of the lowered S. Over the years I became used to this and since I did not track her I was okay with it. About a year ago I got me a Viper SRT-10. I decided to keep an S as a daily driver but I become increasingly bothered by its body roll compared to Viper. Although I softened this difference by putitng Viper on Motons and keeping it on medium there is still considerable softness in these Eibach springs which became unbearable.

I think the best experience I ever had with S was right after I purchased her, during a beautiful ride from Lodi towards the coast and up the hwy 1 to Bay Area. I don't want to give up the looks of 18'' wheels yet I am thinking if it makes sense to spend close to $2k on PSS9. My question is whether to get back to stock springs and just live with incresed spaces in the wheel arches or whether getting PSS9 would bring car back to a stock sharpness and characteristics. I am not tracking the S, I just want to have fun with her. Could you help me?

Btw - comparing Viper to S - these are two different worlds and because you can see I am keeping both these are goooood worlds:-).

Well....not to sound like a d!ck, but you took a multimillion dollar precision engineered suspension setup (stock) and replaced it with a pair of $150 dollar springs. What did you expect? Put PSS9s on it, and youll fall in love all over agian.
