Unfortunately, German manufacturers seems to equate a "sporty" ride with a stiff ride.
The normal way to lower a car is use a spring with a shorter height. The reduced suspension travel is compensated by using a stiffer or higher rate spring. Of course, this give a "hard" or uncomfortable ride.
If you have rough roads with a lot of pot holes, you want a suspension with a lot of travel to soak up the bumps. That requires a taller spring, compared to the sport spring, with a lots of movement or lower rate. And you need a shock or strut with bound/rebound to match the rate of the spring.
Unfortunately, there are a bunch of knotheads who think dropping a car looks cool with no interest how the suspension functions. Also a hard riding suspension is hard or the car wearing out suspension bushings and creating a lot of rattles.
