You want soft? HKS Hipermax III. 5kg spring rates all around. Softest coils I have ever owned. But soft is not really a good thing IMO. It's too soft for me.

Tanabe Sustec Pro 5 is the WORST coilover I have ever owned. But that's me. I bottomed out EVERYWHERE with them.

HKS are almost twice the cst of Tanabes so you cant really compare, Id say compare the HKS to JIC, but JIC are little more performance oriented than HKS from what the spring rates say

Teins CS V.2 is soft and rides like stock. That's if they make it for the IS. Correct me if I'm wrong.
