A better ride. I'm still on the stock ones. And it feels.like they are about to give out. I just want something with a good ride and.not.so.bouncy. also in the future to lower it cuhz I don't like the front gap. Lol

I would go with basic's but i haven't herd anything on c8's besides that they are some cheap taiwan or china made coilovers... you pay for what you get.. if anything i was considering maybe spending more and getting some ST coilovers from KW..for more of a basic coilover.
