You can compliment your springs with Bilstein Shocks

In some instances they are softer than std sti springs.

All down to personal preference really

unfortunately no, but i figure they should be similar to the red Prodrive STi springs. Probably just a mild change to rate as the dampers didnt change a whole lot. just mild tweaks.

yeah, have to agree, you werent paying attention when you bought those!
