Can't say anything about those coils because I installed Megan EZ coilovers on mine, but I also replaced the swaybar bushings with Daizen urethane bushings... Cheap mod but made a big difference! I suggest you consider this while you’re at it…

Got it, thanks! If you noticed that much of an improvement, I may buy a set eventually. Is this the one you bought: OEM Sway Bar Bushing Kit - S2-2008?

I was considering springs before I bought my Megan LP Coilovers. Main reason I didn't is that you still have seven year old struts (in my case, Aug 04 build) on your car and eventually need to be replaced. Springs plus labor were not that much cheaper than what I paid for the Megans. I love the Megans and have no regrets on this decision whatsoever.
