The 2015 shocks aren't as bad, but it's life changing swapping in Bilsteins in the rear. I didn't feel like the fronts were needed to be swapped as much... But, only if you're on the stock sway bars. If you've upgraded the bars you've got to realize that the bar adds to effective spring rate, and ride quality will greatly suffer with the Spec Rs and stock struts in the front.

Those are my two cents. You can live with the stock shocks if you have stock bars, but it's far from livable for any more than a week or so. If you're going to do it, save your pennies and get Bilsteins at the same time.
Thanks hyper, I appreciate the feed back.
