If you drive it only once in a while and want a soft ride, I would just leave it alone and put the money where it can earn you more money.. If you are serious about driving and like to do so in a "spirited manner", I'd go with the the M033 ROW springs with Bilstien HDs. This will be a noticably stiffer ride, howver.. You could keep the relatively soft ride by installing the matching Monroes.
My 0.02 cents.

The MO33 springs are actually the same spring rate as the stock springs (i.e. linear), but simply shorter in length to permit the car to be lowered. They are not generally regarded as high performance/sport in the 993 world, AFAIK. In fact, they and the stock US springs are the softest (relatively) springs available for our cars.
The MO30 springs, however, are the next step up in rigidity and are progressive springs. They are the springs that are used on the sport suspension. Although they are not extremely harsh, they are more rigid than the stock springs and are more conducive to "spirited driving."

Jeff,
Certainly looks like some pretty strong toe-in. Does your car have a layer of black dust on the rear bumper after a vigorous drive?
