Would you guys recommend F80 dct springs instead of my setup?

I find B12 to be way too soft.

My car is using just about every inch of the shock travel to the point that the springs are fully compressed. You can actually see the marks on the coils where they touch each other.

The ride on the highway is ok, but on backroads, the suspension is just overworked and the car bottoms out every time.
I almost feel like this B12 was designed for 4cyl lighter cars and just cant hack the weight of a 6cyl car.

At this stage I don't even mind increasing the height of the car in order to raise the B8 travel or just upgrade to b14 with progressive springs that i can manually raise,

thanks
The 34N/mm Eibach front springs are pretty darn close to F80/82 ZCP front springs. You could try going with something stiffer like F33 or F83 springs. If you want to go stiffer but still stay low you could look for the F33 6-cyl M-Perf front springs. They're about 240lbs/in.
