No, I put a set of KYB Gas-A-Justs in it with the stock springs after i discovered a weepy front shock.
Pros: affordable alternative to OEM
Vehicle:
Lexus GS
Sachs are great! Came stock on the SR 2016 Altima and they ride great, stiff and sporty.
Pros: ride great, stiff, sporty
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
I have an Alltrack with GTI springs and B4s. It's well controlled but doesn't take as hard a set when cornering as the Koni's I had previously. I got tired of replacing the koni struts and they were too firm for the wife so the B4's were an easy choice.
Pros: well controlled
Cons: doesn't take hard set

I did koni inserts with epic engineering springs on my saabauri before I converted to sti suspension and ohlins fp struts. The konis felt great.
Pros: felt great
You will probably find what you're after just entirely from upgrading shock absorbers. There are stock height options from Koni and Bilstein at least (and plenty of others, I haven't dug too far into it). It will improve the ride as a lot of the poor ride quality standard is in the shock absorbers and how they're set up, not the spring rate being too soft.
Pros: improve the ride
Cons: poor ride quality standard
Vehicle:
Suzuki Jimny
I have the pedders Ez on my 04, have been very happy with them
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
I got the Bilsteins and they are excellent on shitty CA highways. I would purchase them again and highly recommended.
Pros: excellent on highways
When I replaced my worn out shocks, I only gained 1/4 of an inch. I went with the AC delco shcoks.
Pros: gained 1/4 inch
Cons: worn out shocks
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 257495 km
My E36 always sat higher after starting to use Bilstein shocks. Did NOT replace springs. B4 first and B6 after. Definitely over-damped, car almost disregards the springs and runs on shocks alone.
Cons: car sat higher, over-damped ride
Vehicle:
