Do you know how the Ksports feel on full stiff? I am looking for coilovers and at first wanted megans but now i hear they might be a little to soft for my taste. My only hesitation is the history of Ksports failing Prematurely, maybe their new design has fixed this. How do they feeL?

Megans are 12/10 spring rate. How hard do you want the suspension to be? 16/14???
Soft for one person will be hard for another. I use to like stiffer suspension, but as I learn more about suspension, stiffer isn't always better unless it's just pure preference.

Bouncy and floaty can be attributed to being under-damped. Stiffer springs do reduce body roll and such, but the oscillation will still be there. Too stiff and your ride will be harsh. That's one thing Infiniti has been criticized for. They increase spring rate to have that hard feeling. BMW is probably the best at achieving firmness while still having stability, and guess their spring rate. It's a lot closer to the 2GS spring rates than it is to the Infiniti 
But if your primary goal is to only have stiffness at all cost, then you'll probably be happier with something like the Bilstein, custom spec BCR or D2 coilovers.
