Default Thinking of going back to stock springs to soften the ride?

I installed a set of WS6 springs on my Formula in the spring. It corners pretty good with the Bilstein HD's, and is no where near as harsh on the kidney's as the old DeCarbons were. But with the crappy pothole/patched riddled roads in my area, the ride can get annoying at times. So I'm thinking of changing out the WS6 springs back to the originals to soften up the ride. Will going back to the original non-WS6 springs actually soften up the ride? Would it be worth it?

It's softer, but not by much unless you have the springs for free and time to swap them.

Stock - 292lb front, 114 rear
WS6 - 360 front, 130-170
