Depends how much you want to spend. If you have the cash for coils, I'd go BC. Plus with coils youll have more flexability. Not to mention with 6 years on your car, it might be good to replace the shocks. Otherwise, f sport springs or the Tanabe nf210's both ride like stock (at least what a lot of CL members claim). Check the forum on spring and Coilovers reviews. Good luck.

We can get you up with a BCR coilover kit that will be setup for street use and comfort.

and you think shocks dont? all shocks wear out. there is no time limit on when they go. all depends on the roads and your driving habits.
