Maybe I should upgrade the springs - what is on the market???

You should upgrade your attitude. Give hte "ladies car" bit a rest. My lady can out drive you without wasting a thought and isn't looking for light steering to do it (she's not wild about changing tires, though). Then try driving the car and adjust your errant assessment.
