Question 2006 Mustang V6...Looking for new springs. Any ideas?

Hi out there. I have a 06' V6 convert. The car has Tockico HD springs w/ Vogstland lowering springs. The car's new stance is looks nice w/ the 17" GT wheels but... the car rides really hard, almost as if there are no shock absorbers. I know it isn't the shocks cause I thought the ride was fine before I installed the lowering springs. Does anyone have any ideas on "softer" more stock-like riding springs? Any suggestions appreciated.

Steeda Ultralites I give my props to. Lower the car nice and It still drives as good as the OEM ones did. Another good brand a lot of people use it the Eibach pro Kit or Sportline kit depending on how low you want it.

Here are some photos of my GT on Eibach Pro Kit Springs. This should give you and idea of ride height. The ride quality was close to stock.

The sportlines I've heard are unbearable. I have the pro kit and althought its not like stock it isnt bad at all.

I have them but I could not tell who made them. But they are tuned for a V-6's weight and there is a difference between the two. Just because something will fit does not make it the right part. just my .02
