Lowered springs

Hi
I have a 9000 CSE LPT with Konis and Terra springs (from Eurocarparts).
Currently the ride leaves a lot to be desired ie too easily upset by small
humps etc. The Konis are at 0.5 turns from max on the front and 1.5 from min
at back.
I am assuming the springs are too soft, they felt slightly softer when
compared to originals on compressing with a spring compressor. Has anybody had experience of Terra springs.
I'm considering replacing the springs with a set of the following
Hirsch
Abbot
Eibach
The Hirsch and Abbott springs are cnosiderably more expensive are they worth it ? I want to retain a reasonable degree of ride comfort and yet improve the handling, I know its a compromise.
Does anybody have any opinions or experience of the above ?
Thanks
