Factory struts, especially the original ones that have been on the car for 13+ years, don't like to have lowering springs on them. So by the time you spent money on some springs and new struts, you're already pretty close to the cost of coilovers.

Leave it stock - please. Just daily drive it and leave it alone. If you want to 'modify' it, sell it and buy something else, leave the 240 for someone who knows what they're doing.

Look at new PBM (Powered by Maxx) there new coils sick if you got the coin. I like Stance to but you got to keep an eye on em
because the collars tend to lower themselves.... Most importantly however do cheap out on Coils you get what you pay for.
Period. I had ISIS and let me tell you crap.... Camber issues, rust and lets not even get into how they road. Anyway you get what you pay for end of story.
