Soft suspension is actually more predictable believe it or not. Firmer suspension increases responsiveness but in slippery conditions this is interpreted as nervousness and twitchiness. I tried driving at auto-x this past weekend with the suspension too stiff when it was 45F out, car was hellish. Once I softened things up the car became much more predictable.
