Will put my 2 cents in.

I had a set of GodSpeed Mono-Max RS coils. Good enough to go low and have moderate comfort if you're willing to spend time driving around then pull over and adjust the damping settings. I managed to get them to a livable state. I then had a set of FA 500's with Swift springs, conical bearings, etc and I didn't find them as comfy driving around and being low. I'm now on Tein S-Tech springs. These are better comfort wise than both sets of coils. I'm also about half as low as I was on coils.

I'd recommend saving yourself some money and buy some springs for around $200.

Edit: anyone who says that their entry level coils are comfier than stock is a liar. What I can say is: OEM:passed gf test. GodSpeed: passed gf test after tinkering. FA: passed gf test, barely. Tein springs: passed gf test.
