Hi Robert,

I can't vouch for the SofSport springs but I can give you the price and
write up out my Neuspeed catalog:

NEUSPEED SOFSPORT ROAD SPRINGS

Neuspeed SofSport Springs were designed specifically to fill the need of
vehicle owners who live where there is snow and/or rough roads.  These
springs are a special Neuspeed design that provide a better ride on
rough roada and do not lower the car so you retain ground clearance. 
SofSport springs are progressive rate, fit tight between spring caps,
and feature highest quality chrome silicone wire, shot peened for stress
relief, and compression tested.  Better handling with ride quality.  


Price:  $189.95 (call for shipping charges)

Order Desk Number:  800-423-3623 
Technical Questions:  805-388-7171 (8 - 12 Mon-Fri)

Hours of Operation:  8 - 5  Mon - Fri (Pacific Time)
                     8 - 12 Saturday


P.S.  Progressive springs are designed to become stiffer as they are
compressed in the spring perch under increased loading.  

Advantages:

1.  Smooth ride under nearly all conditions
2.  Precision handling and responsiveness
3.  Smooth transition from straight-line comfort to high 
    performance handling under all conditions

Hope this helps.
