Suspension Recommendations for Daily Driving

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've been on here. So it is time for some new struts and springs as I've been riding on the originals for my 2008 ISF. Car has 160k and both struts in the front are leaking now. What do you recommend for a DD only F? I'm looking for a setup a little less firm than OEM. Thanks in advance!

Myself and many others seem to be very happy with Bc Racing coilovers with swift spring upgrade. 16/12 recommended rates. I have 14/10 so it's even softer, kind of wish I went with 16/12, but they've been flawless for over 50k miles now. Were about $1200 shipped.

I had KW V3 on my ISF and loved it.

BC w/ Swift is another very popular combo.

this is the route I’m considering... which shocks are you using? I’ve been thinking about Bilstein. At that point this option is more than cheap coil overs, but I suspect much better shocks...
