Stiffer springs without necessarily lowering car

Does anyone know of any decent springs that are stiffer than the stock springs? I normally opt for linear springs over progressive, but I am really more interested in stiffening up the suspension more than lowering the car. Any info is appreciated.

Springs need to be matched to the damper. They work together as part of a system. I wouldn't randomly swap springs in/out. That's a good portion of what one pays for when one buys an M car--that BMW has done the necessary engineering in design and testing. Some aftermarket vendors do that, too.
