I’ve heard great things about Koni products, not just for these cars but others as well. Actually had a set of the Reds for another car but I sold it shortly after and never did try them.
Special Actives or the 2024 suspension retrofit seem like great options depending on priorities, especially if you don’t want to change ride height or track the car. Koni has a lifetime warranty too.
I have the 18” wheels on stock tires, and oddly noticed that reducing tire pressure makes the car more bouncy on stock shocks, so I run the recommended pressure.
The springs between these old and new front assemblies appear very similar. Did you happen to get a photo of the rears? I can’t help but think spring rates haven’t changed much if any.
