you could run 18" rims with taller rubber to get more sidewall height and a softer ride.

Could be as simple as the tires you have on the car. I just changed to a set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 stock size in front and 275/35/19 rears and its a totally differant car.

Unless your car has an aftermarket suspension system installed, your Crossfire already has a soft suspension in it, in comparison to other Sports Cars.

You do realize that you bought a sports car, right?
A European designed and built sports car, at that.

But yes, the best you can do is install 17" Mercedes wheels and tires, and splurge money on fully adjustable shocks that you can set to the fully soft positions, and then adjust to the settings you prefer over time.

BC.

Yep, smaller wheels. Tires with a higher aspect ratio. Conti as a brand is known for ride quality. Less agressive dampers and lower spring rates. Smaller diameter anti-roll bars. Replace all the suspension bushings with softer rubber. Ah crap, save yourself some money and trade the Crossfire in for a Camry.
