I would say probably "no." With any lowering, you'll proably never be able to exactly duplicate the softness you can achieve from the factory high-off-ground rolling body ride quality softness.

I think with my setup the ride is good and does what I want it to do, more power to the ground, better body control, better turning, and great looks. I certainly traded what soft ride quality that was there before to what I wanted, a more sporty feel. I called the ride "good" because from what I've seen in some other low-quality coilover setups or some really low ride, low-quality springs. I think if you don't lower your car too much, take care to get some good struts, you'll get a a good ride, but probably never that same stock-like ride. I mean, having that much wheel-well gap, off the road feel, is going to give you a pretty soft-ride. But hell, it's still not even close to sedan-like or even ford-escort like anyways in stock form.

You may want to do some research on some very well-made adjustable coilovers, such as Ground Controls, which can allow you to change the ride-quality setting. This may help for you to achieve that soft-as-possible setting.
