Most comfortable spring will be the Eibach Prokits.
Great thanks! I don't do AutoX, so I don't really have need for high performance.
I have the Tein SS-P on my celica with the EDFC and I can vouch for the difference of quality of ride when turned from soft to hard. It is totally night and day difference from the soft to the hard and vice verse.

eye heart springs + shocks!
Progressive springs are the bomb, even on the stock shocks they improved the ride on my evo (I have eibachs). Now paired with the set of bilstein MR's I got used (low mileage) the car rides freaking awesome, but still handles very respectably. If I ever got into more competition, I'd defenitely consider the swifts, even the -R's...matt's car rides extremely nice now, and no danger of das breakage:

Plus, we live in MN. Think about all the junk that can get into all of those grooves coilovers have!
Even high-end coilovers use non-progressive springs, right? I just can't fathom how they can ride uber nice.

AGXs and Prokits babay. More of a DD car then a handling beast like Matt D.
But maybe one day if I find another set of JICs and I feel like turning this thing.

The turn from Territorial onto 280 when I leave work is a 120 degree left, I sort of hustled the turn and the car basically pivoted around the corner.
