996 C4s coil over options

I am considering the purchase of a 996 c4s and my only complaint was a bit of harshness in the ride which my local dealer said was easily fixable with a coilover kit such as the bilstein pss10

My question to the forum is that it seems that the pss10 will necessarily lower the car 15-20 mm which is not very desirable for me given the nature of the roads here in thailand. Is this the case or am I misreading the information on the Bilstein Website?

If it is the case what are my good options that do not involve lowering the car?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A PSS10 kit will likely only make the matter worse. You may be best suited by going to most basic factory strut and shock setup available for your car.

I thought there was a factory upgrade for the C4.. maybe the X74 kit? Its a sportier than stock unit but, imho, likely a better choice than the PSS9/10 system out there.
