Finally with warm weather it was time to clean up a full winters worth of crap...
Clay bar and sealant = excellent shine. I didn't have time to polish/wax so this will due for now.

Yup, H&R OE springs. To me it's fine. Over 25k on this setup but I hear everyone saying the ride is much better with better shocks or coil overs. I am about to order Bilstein Sport shocks

I am about to order Bilstein Sport shocksI have H&R OE Sport Springs and just added Bilstein Sport Shocks and Struts and have about 300 miles on them. Don't bother, I feel almost no different between them and the factory Shock and Struts. I am by far not a professional, but I feel that I wasted money on the shocks and struts/install and alignment.

MrFunk I believe did the same and noticed a significant difference. I am sure you won't get a Cadillac smooth ride but the purpose is to reduce or eliminate the bouncing effect with the stock shocks. For the price it def seems like it's worth it rather than paying 2k+ for good coilovers.

oh true... someone else threaded that they love the new experience once they switched to bilstein shocks on top of the OE springs over stock shocks.
i guess to each their own. I'm leaning towards sticking with stock shocks and slapping my OE springs on since i already have them. and if i really don't like the ride ill get the bilstein shocks.
thanks to all the helpful feedback, and sorry for thread jacking xoxo
