That being said most manufacturers will swap in softer springs at no extra charge. You should try calling them and talking about having the springs changed.

They sure are....

Though the springs on the SS's are stiffer than the Flex's.

To the OP. You will have a hard time finding soft springs in a coilover. Typically because of the nature of the adjustability. Softer springs will create issues with lowering the car.

You could look at these as a good option....

Ah your right I was looking at the SS with the pillow ball upper mounts. The standard SS are available for the FD.
