I have a 2004 AP2 s2000. I took a ride in my friend's Z3 and the ride wasn't nearly as harsh as the s2000's. Can I change out the springs or something for a softer ride?

Here is a link to the Official Spring Thread. It has all the spring rates for OEM and aftermarket springs. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=545870

Honestly your not going to get much of a better ride with different springs. OEM is about the best you can get, then it gets stiffer from there.

Custom rated Ground Controls?

The OEM springs are about as soft as you're going to find. One thing you can do to change the ride is swap in some adjustable Konis and try out different settings.

There's only one thing softer than the OEM springs, and that's you.

get a different car? Preferably something more feminine like the Z3? Chrysler Sebring convertible?

Get a set of Bilstein PSS9s Coilovers and adjust the setting to your liking. The ride is actually "softer" than stock. I think the stock springs are a little jarring when compared to the PSS9s. My gf had a Z3 which has a similar ride to my S with the PSS9s.
