On our 63 we ran stock springs and Fox's and it transformed ride quality - the main issue I think is the valving on the compression of the OEM. We added 40mm Spring spacers for a light lift - and widened the stance a bit with a lower offset rim and wider tire ( they'll take up to a 325 width)
I'm running Koni Raids on the g55 and am very impressed so far with about 20k on them and with a fair bit of extra weight and heavier rims/ tires..... if you don't Need/want the adjsutability of the Fox's or Kings then they're a great choice - I have mine set in "med" position.

Changing the shocks can make a substantial improvement. King shocks with the stock G63 springs is an improvement over the stock bilstein shocks. If you go for softer springs, you will notice more body roll and worse cornering. Depends on how much softer you want the ride to be.

Agreed - and for the 63 I'd stay with OEM or the JWO springs.... I rode in a 63 with Fox's and Viking springs and it was wayy too tippy even in "firm" shock setting.... widening the track also helps.
I'd like Kings someday....
