What shocks and geometry do you run? The ride is a function of geometry (primarily the relationship between the spring and shock rates and their rates at the wheel, tires, and unsprung weight.

A stiff shock will be harsh with a soft spring. A hard spring can be 'firm but pliable' with the right shock. Stiff tire sidewalls will be different then soft tires.

Coil overs cost around $60 each (Hypercoils or Eibach) and take about 30 minutes to change one end of the car (including set ride height and wheel weights). Why not just try out a couple?
