I strongly recommend you also consider changing the shocks/struts out for Koni Special Actives. They are better than OE in every single way - performance and comfort.
I do have the Koni STR.Ts in my Honda and they were a fantastic upgrade over stock.
Koni yellow is the absolute best oem replacement shocks
I was the 1st person install Koni SA shocks on a NA Miata. They have adaptive valving. Made my 96 handle live a Maserati. Awesome shock for The Miata. Sticks like a Geco!!!! Rides like a dream
I’m currently running koni yellows. I don’t have experience with any others but these have treated me well with a 2” lowering spring on my daily. I would suggest them for a mid/entry level shock with some level of adjustability
I had Koni yellows and loved them. Lifetime warranty too.
If you have a small budget HR sports and Konis are far better than coilovers on the low end. You won’t be super low busy it will handle and ride nice.
On the road, these Koni’s ride amazingly well. They compress and rebound faster than the stock dampers. Subjectively, this helps soak up road imperfections, but returns the tire to the road surface more quickly. This helps eliminate head toss and vibration through the chassis. Additionally, the FSD technology allows for softer compression under high frequency (large/harsh) impacts. This nets in a smooth ride over rough road conditions, but the composed and sporty handling is not compromised either. The ride feels significantly more premium.
Now I have koni yellows and h&r race springs. Ride is pretty close to stock but now it's too low.
i have the Koni STR.T and Eibach Prokit combo and have had it for about 2.5 years/30k miles. I'm currently looking at either Koni Yellows or Bilstein B8 shocks. The Konis were great for the first year, but after the first year, the rear shocks failed. Now the fronts are getting very rough and feel bouncy like when I had the Eibach prokit springs on failed stock shocks/struts.
