The stock suspension has alot to wish for, its a brilliant setup stock but there are so many kits out there. If you like how it handles and rides now, you will love some of the setups out there.

BC and Tein make fantastic coil over kits that are fully adjustable and very tame and good for street use. The BC one is cheaper and apparently closer to a stock feel than the Tein setup. Nice thing about Tein Super Street is for an additional 350-400 you can get an electronic dampening controller and adjust firmness on the fly. This does make it very comfortable on the street, and the performance is great.

I'm personally running HKS Hipermax Drag coilovers and you can guess what I'm going to say about the comfort level. Under full throttle the nose doesn't pick up at all, and under hard braking the car does not dive at all, it just feels so much more planted. They arent really intended for cornering hard, but theyve made the car more predictable even with the massive turbo lag I have.

It's totally up to you though, if you dont see yourself lowering the car, or getting extra performance out of the suspension, then just replace the stock units.
