What is the best shock spring combo?
I do not want to go full coilovers just because the price is to high and I do not race my car or anything like that. I would however like to upgrade the suspension it is an everyday driver with no trackdays and mainly just spirited mountain road driving. I thought of the koni shocks and eibach springs but I dunno how that would ride and handle not to smart when it comes to suspension.

I like the Koni/Prodrive combo. Looks good, rides comfortably, measurable improvement in handling.

For a bit higher performance, but still decent ride quality get V8 Struts with STi Pinks

If you don't feel like hacking up your stock struts or doing the extra work, KYB AGX + Prodrive springs have gotten good reviews.

For spirited mtn/canyon driving you want lots of suspension travel, but still reduced roll- I think the STi struts/springs fit that bill pretty well. I use mine for autox/rallyx and track days as well as mtn/canyon carving. I ran the RA setup on my sedan and am now running the STi wagon setup on my 04 wagon- can't say enough about either .
