Tell us what you want to do with the car.

If a track is in your future, D-Spec. You can adjust in a nice comfy ride, then change both front and back when the twisty stuff calls. When shocks are out is a nice time for some springs. H-Tech gets rid of the front wheel gap and is a nice progressive spring that still handles great.

That is what I did, and why. But, it was like $800 for both in parts. There has to be OEM style shocks out there if you just want to keep it like it is.

Good luck.
