Have you guys changed your shocks into coilovers? If so, what coilovers and how's the performance? Can you please post your OEM Shocks and Springs?

I purchased BC Racing coilovers and the ride quality if phenomenal. Its really amazing the difference. Handling is drastically better, the car hugs corners. Don't have picutes of the stock system.

That's great! What are the spring rates? Did you set it up to be firmer? Is it bouncier than before? How lower did you adjust the ride height compared to stock height? What did you do with your stock system?
