I'm really tempted on the air lift but just holding back.

Bags will do anything you need them too. Bmr springs, from my experience, have been the best springs thus far with oem shocks and struts.

I'm on BMR springs and Koni Str.t's and as said before it rides stiffer than stock but to me it feels like a Mustang should. My car has been from Texas to Florida and Florida to Oklahoma and many places in between and I have no complaints other than rough roads are noticeable but it's a trade off for what I wanted

OP, I think running 20" wheels on 35 series tires is your "comfort" problem. I don't know if any lowered suspension set up, aside from maybe airbags, is going to offer a "comfy" ride with that wheel tire set up.

my ride quality is really good on Steeda Ultralites. BMR will be comfortable too. it's all in the spring rate

Well over weekend I set the dampers the same from front to back and that seems to have improved the ride.

I used to set the rear 2 clicks harder than the fronts but now it's all the same.

I'm running Steeda Sport's with Koni STR.T's and do not like the ride at all. It didn't bother me when my car was a toy but now it's my daily driver.

After cutting my bump stops, my ride is much closer to stock. It's not a night and day difference, but it's noticeable and a lot less jarring on bigger bumps. I just can't believe I didn't know I should have done that in the beginning...

I have FRPP "K" springs which is 1.5 drop all around. Recently I have decided to make major changes to the car. I am wondering if anybody can tell me what to expect if I put the OEM springs back on the car (Prem. Brembo package) but keep the Koni STR.T on.
If I had it do over again personally at my age and all I would have gone with FRPP "P" springs.
I guess if the OEM's and Koni STR.T with the GT500 strut mounts are a bad idea to just go back with OEM springs. shocks. struts and bushing
I have had several guys tell me to cut some off the OEM spring but not feeing that.

How much did you cut off?
