I run the exact same. Not alot. Put it back to standard if its an issue.

Or fork out for some expensive coilovers with adjustable dampers and raise them up.

Cant really have stance and full comfort at the same time imo.

Just put it back to standard, shed come first if it was me and a baby i guess.

You can have a killer stance and smooth ride at the same time. It's called air ride, but your having a baby and shouldn't waste £2000 on your car. So raise it up 50mm or put it back to standard.
