I have Eibach springs with Koni Sport struts. The ride is great and handling is really improved as well.
I also went with Koni STRs on H and R springs with powerflex 10mm lowering strut bushing and its a dream to drive. It takes these northeastern new york country roads in strides. Its never bottomed out. And the quality of the suspension just makes it a dream to drive. I drive it hard and it takes it.
The Sachs come with the performance package. Totally worth every penny if you like to mod, track, and auto cross. The Sachs struts have different valving but much better performance than base suspension setup. They also work great with aftermarket performance springs (RCE Yellows work perfectly with the Sachs). I have a 2018 BRZ with the Performance Package with Brembo brakes and love it.
Sachs was the OEM for the struts on my old e39 bmw 528i w/ sports package. I had gotten 60k miles after replacing them before trading the car in.
If they are good enough to be original equipment on a BMW they’re probably pretty good.
2nd best mod was replacing control arms (oem), bushings (oem), springs (H&R sport), struts (adjustable Koni), and strut towers (aftermarket billets). Sport seats was also a great change to the car.

I personally, like ONLY the sport mode of DCC, so if I can find good NON DCC struts/shocks for the R that are really worth buying, and that can handle my springs, I would be on it.
Just want to bump this as Im super happy with my new stockish setup. H&R OE Sport springs and Koni Str.t struts. Stock ride height (H&R says it lowers it .75" front and rear) and a really comfortable ride. Koni states the Str.t's are valved for lowering springs (1.5-3") but I think they feel great.
I've put about 150 miles on the new set up. The ride is great, very comfortable, not too bouncy, not too stiff. However I'm getting a high pitched squeak from the front drivers side strut assembly.
Even the Sachs aftermarket are more harsh than OE
