Coilovers to spec c suspension
So currently have a hawkeye with some form of tein coilovers fitted and I personally find them to harsh on the roads round my way. The car is used as a daily driver and next year will potentially see a track day or two, nothing other than for a little bit if fun. Also have fitted a uprated rear anti roll bar from Cdf yet I'm not sure it's the correct one as powerstation commented on the fit so will probably replace it with one from whiteline along with front and rear drop links.
So was considering removing the tein suspension and fitting some standard sti shocks with uprated springs, yet on the search I have been offered a set up from a hawkeye spec c so what do you think, few questions
This a backwards step?
Would you fit uprated springs to the spec c struts?
or leave them as the are?
Thanks in advance

It has been pulled off a car that has covered less than 20k yet it will still be 6/7 years old so cautious on if it will suffer the same issues as the UK cars and start knocking in the future.
How do you find the ride on the UK roads?
And you don't happen to have a side on picture for the ride height? Assume you're on original sti 17's

Not sure you want uprated springs to go with the shocks if you don't like a harsh ride.
Over the next week or so I should be getting my original "new" standard shocks fitted with springs and bump stops designed by Prodrive's ex suspension guru at PCA Developments who i believe was involved with the RB320 and P1 to name but two.
I'll let you know how I get on although probably won't be for at least threes weeks.
