Would you change for shock/struts over coilovers then?

I am currently running eibach pro kit springs...thinking if I am gonna change maybe coilovers might be the other alternative....?

Theres a few cheaper coilover option like BC BR or the more expensive KW and Aragosta...also seen people using Koni Yellow making it into coilovers using a kit + swift/eibach metric spring...i am guessing metric spring is just the normal springs like the one I have?

I would've used that money to buy a rear decklid spoiler and installation perhaps?

The Sport suspension is usually good for 100k miles

Mine has 85k miles and I won't replace them until after 100k. When I do, I'll be very careful about using any non-OEM parts. I had to chime in because you could very easily shoot yourself in the foot, replacing sport struts in great condition with inferior new struts. Basically, don't follow advice given for non-Sport vehicles if you have a Sport.
