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.
We have different girlfriends. With mine .. I should be driving on slammed BC coilovers and constantly on the rumble-strip on the shoulder of the road.

Sadly I just don't roll like that, so she has to deal with it. HKS offers me pleasure .. her not so much.
