SC430 Shock Absorbers
It's about time to replace the shocks on my SC. Is there consensus on what the best replacements are? I'd like something that might improve the handling a bit. Also, would you replace the coil-overs with the shocks, and if so, with what? Thanks...

I did replace my standard shock with Coilovers.
Took me a while to figure out the spring rate and damper rate for the car but it did wonder for the handling.
Still feel very good going over bumps and rough roll, but much less body roll and much more predictable under power during the exit of a corners.
I would say it was the best mod I have done to the SC, handle much like an BMW 3-Series now, which is a good thing.

The factory shocks are coil-overs, right? I've seen a brand on EBay lately called KSport for $850/set of 4. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about that brand?
