Default Hardest and softest springs?

Can anybody give me a rating at what the hardest and softest performance(and lowering) springs are? Eibach, Roush, Saleen, FRPP, etc.

I want to lower it and get better handling but, from what I've heard some of the spring arrangements, combined with 20" wheels make the ride way too stiff for street. I live in philly and a few years ago we were ranked the worst roads in a big american city so you can imagine the condition. I don't want to have to swerve to avoid a flat every time I see a pot hole. That won't be safe either.

Thanks

I think SERTA makes the softest springs!

This is a little off topic but does anyone have eibach sport springs and not the pro because everyone has been saying go with pro but i'm not sure what to do.

Hey at least he didn't tell you to get Craft-matic springs...those would've folded your car in half! In all seriousness I've heard that the FRPP springs are very stiff as are the Eibach Sport springs. I plan on trying either the Saleen supension kit or the Roush suspension kit. Both are supposed to help increase the handling of the vehicle without losing any of the factory driveability.

I think in fact FRPP are manufactured by Eibach. Also agree with saleen suspension. I think it´s the best bang for the buck (for those like me looking for a suspension combo that won´t hurt kidneys in every day driving with ocasional visits to the circuit/track/spirited highway drivers)
