Upgrading shocks and springs

Alright it's about that time to upgrad the stock stuff...
I been doing research like everyone says to but I'm still not sure what I want to do..
Not really looking for coils just strut and springs..
I've seen that the Tikico illuminas are nice but what else is there ?
I've seen koni srt shocks I believe that's the name of them and there suppose to be built for dropping on spring performance wisei guess..
Well I like comfort , a lil stiffness is fine also but more comfort..an adjustable unit would be best..
Could you good people point me in the right direction please!!!

I had Tokico blues and Eibachs very nice ride, now on BC Coilovers, but if I was to do a strut and spring combo would be Tokico Illuminas 5way adjustable I think and Eibachs...GL....

Ok strut, great spring, combined ride quality is not so good. KYB struts are stiff and are not good if your goal is comfort.

You should ask yourself if you're using it for everyday uses or just a performance.There's a lot of different setup that you can go with,you just have to know if you're going for performance or comfort.

There's only a thin line between both,get it as close to both.
