You always have the ability to change the dampening settings for you chiloice of driving mood haha,

But 100% would go coilovers over atandard shock/spring set up.

You could make a coilover as comfortable as a spring/shock combo if you really wanted, but it would certainly require revalving. I think BC can do that free of charge? Or that might just be custom rates. Even lowering the 2kg or whatever it is that you can do before revalving would probably be adequate.

Out of stock D: I'm not sure if being "special order" means they're still available or not...

Ahh, right. Custom things probably a bit over budget haha
