I think my shocks are done! now what?

Hi, i know there is so much on the web about shocks. but can some one tell me this, do i have to change my Stein when i buy shocks?

i have had the tein springs ONLY on OEM SHOCKS for like 27k miles. THEY ARE BEAUTIFULL but my glove box is about to open every time i drive my car in dc.

i dont entend to take my car to the track, but i dont want something that is less quality than OEM NOR do i want the ride to be HARSH. what do you guys think?
dspec or belsten HD?

If your priority is a less harsh ride, the Bilstein's are the way to go.

For best Handling - Koni.

keep in mind that even konis wont make the ride THAT bad as long as you use the stock springs
