Default Are you looking for a coilover kit?
or generic/universal coilover spring to use on a shock?

Default It's very difficult to find a lighter spring than an Eibach.
I don't even know if Vogtland makes a generic coilover spring. Do they advertise it?

Default i saw some Porsche spec coilover vogtland's (6", 2.5ID 600lb. springs), they were about 40% lighter
...then the same spec Eibach.

Of course, this was like 2 years ago or so, and I still haven't seen them for sale.

Default I found another manufacturer that advertises 30% lighter.
Although nobody seems to be using their springs. Go figure.
