Good OEM replacement shocks

I have the oem shocks and using tein s-tech setup on my coupe right now and i am way overdue for a replacement.

Anyone have any recommendations on a shock/spring setup that feels the same as OEM or even better.

ive herd a lot people talk about the tokiko HP shocks

Any suggestions would be great

thanks

I second the Tokicos. I like my Eibach pro-kit, but springs a a personal choice. I like the progressive rate that starts out softer than stock.

I'm running D-specs on OEM springs and like the combo quite a bit. The ride can be as plush as OEM, or much firmer; you adjust to your taste.

I will say that my front D-specs haven't exactly impressed me with their reliability though. I've had to replace my front right already, and am about to replace the front left. I keep them about 3-3.5 turns from full stiff and both have gone bad somehow. Maybe it was a bad batch.
