What shocks should i go with?
I have a H&R spings with C32 Stock Shocks.

here are my options.

1) Bilstien Shocks
2) Koni Shocks
3) C55 Shocks
4) Sell The H&R Springs and buy Coilovers.


What you guys think?

I have TEIN springs on stock shocks and love them. I had coilovers previously, but decided I didn't really need them. The one thing I have learned with suspension, go slow. Do one upgrade at a time, and see if it makes you happy. Going all out often results in a ride that you don't want to live with. Remember, what is smooth to one person, can be rough to another.
