Of course now if you want to do this, you could always go to a junkyard and collect a good amount of "stock" springs and mix and match until you get the best setup for your car. People who do this professionally do this with many things. They call this "optimizing". Personally anyone who has the time and money to do this, needs to be racing in some other category. But there are always a few like this.
There was an article in SCC (I think) a year or two ago about a showroom stock Neon series. The teams would go through bundles of parts looking for ones that most closely matched and were closest to the factory specs, etc. Rotors, springs, engine pieces, etc.. It was interesting to read how the selected the parts and stuff. Adding good "stock" parts seemed to increase reliability and longevity for things like rotors. People that would do that in autocrossing have a bit too much time on their hands..
Why would you want SE springs in an SVT????
Dunno.. IIRC, SVT and SE springs are the same, just different struts.
