Hey can anyone help me. I'm looking to upgrage my stock suspension and I'm at a bit of a crossroads.

I'm not looking for high performance or it to be dropped really low I'm looking more for a comfortable ride and good handling. The roads are quite bumpy over here and its getting very frustrating. I was thinking of going for new shocks and springs as I here coilovers are a bit harsh.

I was looking at kyb gr2's and tein s-tech springs.

What do you think????

Hahaha Ohlins are money.

But anyways Konis are by far the best things you can buy for this car (which is why i'm getting them). and Bilsteins are probably midway between KYB and Konis.
KYBs are just OEM spec replacements.

Koni > Bilstein > kyb

bump stops are cheap and available at your local dealership
