Change only the springs. It is very difficult to get better results with coilovers. You would need an expensive set of coilovers and a very professional installation in a shop with racing experience.

What is the point of changing out cabin/trunk/license plate lights to LED?

Yup, couldn't resist for how low the price point was on the H3's from Diode Dynamics!

Plus, it satisfied the tiny modding itch that I had at the time. Only did the license plate bulbs.

I can see inside at night when the light comes on 100x better and same for the trunk its hilarious the difference. Also for my sidemarkers, and turn signals, reverse lights and license plate lights:
1) It looks better than a yellowish halogen hue
2) People can see me and I can see them
3) For the turn signals its impossible to notice because they are bright also in the front with the switchbacks the LEDs almost act like fog lights now
