If this is going to continue to be a problem, you may see a set of H&R Sport coilovers, Helix camber plates, and 4 H-Sport rear control arms in the Marketplace Forum for a discounted rate...
The plates will raise the front about 1-1.5 inches in my experience. The other thing to help improve the ride is get rid of those runflats. they are soooo stiff!

1-1.5 inches...awesome! I am in the process of trying to find some new wheels and tires now and am going to keep these for the winter.
