Looking for progressive springs with higher spring rates

I am looking for progressive springs with higher spring rates than the sport springs currently offered. I want to save some comfort so I dont want to lower the car much.

Any suggestions?

The sticky on springs above this post says the progress have pretty low spring rate. H-Techs and Eibachs seem to have the highest spring rates and supposedly Htechs ride a lot better, this makes me wonder how accurate the info on this board is.

If somebody says that the springs are stiff it really dosn't means that they will be stiff for you... BTW, did you see the post where someone tested how Eibachs/illuminas feel at all 5 settings. According to him eibachs aren't really stiff.

I know that there are differences between people's tastes but I think its safe to come to the conclusion that H-techs ride better than eibachs especially seeing how people have had the H-techs and the eibachs back to back and said the H-techs were more comfortable, yet they have very similar spring rate

More high performance springs have been made for other cars but I dont think any manufacturers will produce them for the maxima because most max owners like a huge drop or a lot of comfort.

I am curious are there any coilovers out there for any car that are quiet, comfortable (for a coilover, so were talking comfort within reason), and most importantly reliable for everyday driving?
