Alright guys so this isn't a write up or an in depth review.

I bought a 2008 ISF about a year ago and although I didn't notice during all my test drives, the longer I owned the car the more I despised the suspension.
Super bouncy and VERY harsh over uneven and pitted roads. My only wish was that it would handle the same on smooth roads (because it was excellent on smooth roads) as it did over rough surfaces.

I researched and reviewed coilovers but honestly I've had VARIOUS cars with coilovers. From sports cars (Nsx) to "luxury" cars (e92) and sure you can dial them in to ride pretty nice but they still leave a slightly cheap / unrefined feeling. Nothing of an oem tuned suspension.

I decided to pull the trigger on some bilstein B6s and tein h. Techs and all I can say is WOW. I'm not sure if my stock suspension was worn out that bad but it it made a day and night difference. I no longer feel every rock on the road like before. It's feels just like it SHOULD have from the factory. Steering is more responsive, dampening is surprisingly better than stock and the bonus is a get a pretty nice drop.

If if anyone has been considering upgrading their suspension but not really sold on coilovers this is the route I would take. I have a buddy on stock shocks and swifts but it still feels very jarring. Feels just like stock but lower.

I'm not sure if it was the shocks or the springs or just a combo off both so I probably shouldn't comment about the swift springs but all in all I'm ridiculously happy. I rarely post but I had to share this with you guys!

Quick question - On the rear shocks, did you put the factory bump stops on the new shocks? It seems like if i put the bump stops on, the shock wont have much travel.

Thank you!
