Euro-tuned shocks too stiff

I dont see why you couldn't put base shocks on. They do work in concert with the rest of the components though. The low profile tires also add to the rough ride. The Conti DW's have a soft sidewall and would smooth the ride a bunch at the expense of the steering feel. Its your car so do what you need to to make it yours!

Same springs, you won't feel a difference.

Your car is still new give it some time to break in your shocks and springs will start to soften a bit once you get to past 3k-5k miles. It took for a while before i appreciated the ride of the car since then cant stop driving it.

Best one is change the Oem Bridgestone tires to a yokohama or hankooks big difference in ride and road noise.

Swift R springs is also a good option. No need to change the shocks its designed best for the sports package.
