Definitely not softer then stock. There is some bounce over ruts and holes. I would suggest new shocks as well.

I would compare them to maybe a 6 kg/mm spring...this is after riding in my friends 8 kg/mm spring'd S14 240. They do have some bounce to them at times over hard bumps, you definitly feel the road more, but I consider the ride quality good...I've driven from SLO CA to Prescott AZ (8hrs) quite a few times now and am not complaining.

If you have the money, I'd get shocks with any springs that lower more than an inch...if you don't I think its ok. I've been on kg/mm race + stock shocks for 30k+ miles with no ill effects yet. not to say it wont happen, but they are ok so far.
