Remember that whatever spring you put on the car, your shock should match its settings.

Most aftermarket isf coils either run 12k & 8 k or 14k & 10kbut depending on what style coils you have the way they ride will be completely different. Isf handle so well from the factory I dont know why anyone would need anything more than a rear sway bar upgrade ...

I am on TEIN Comfort Sport coils, 12/10. The ride has a nice balance of road feedback as well as luxury for me.

Darbs, yeah it sure does. That bounce/jitter feel you get with stock is eliminated.

How do the BC coils and the KW coils compare from a street/spirited drive and comfort perspective?

I am running 14/12k on my BC coils. As far as comfort goes I think at least on my 08 they made the car much more comfortable to ride in while increasing the the handling.
