Thinking of removing the drop from the car
I think you should go back to stock springs and be happy about your car! As I live in Minnesota I can use all the clearance I can get when the snow flies.
Some like the dropped look, I don't particularily care for it. I really don't like the slammed look at all.

BTW when you swap out those springs and get that "cloud like" ride back you owe me the springs
.
I think you should take the springs out for a while to see if the smooth ride justifys the "look" of the car sitting higher.

Swap back to stock and you'dd have to tone down the driving. It will be nice and soft, but turns will never feel the same. I'd swap them out for awhile and see if you like it. Personally, I like my springs and it still has a great ride...then again, I'm used to the stiffness of my other car so maybe i'm biased 
But dont sell the springs until you are sure you want to go back to stock.

1. You don't have a comparable aftermarket shocks to match the higher spring rate of Prokit.
2. Your tire's profile contribute to a harsher ride. 215/45 is too thin for a cloud ride. Even if you ride 215/45 on stock setup, it'll still be harsher.
My Accord still rides like cloud on the streets at lower than highway speed driving with Koni adjustables. I have 215/50-17 series setup that gives that extra padding. But when I corner, everything stiffens up.

I think you already answered your own question. Obviously, you don't like the stiff ride anymore so just switch back to the OEM set-up. Just remember you can't corner like you did before.
As for me, I hate the SUV look and I love the cornering capabilities at high speeds.
