J- how are you judging that your stocks shocks are just about done? Your ride height hasn't seemed to drop any since you put the springs on last year, unless you're experiencing some a) bounciness or b) extreme hardness in riding. A good example is dave's DA 
which his shocks are almost non-existant (and it's very obvious in ride)

J's car has a few miles on her. Her car is also old. There is a chance that the shocks have served their purpose.

Mine has 73k Ev and I've been dropped for probably at least 15k
I was just asking because I wasn't sure if you just wanted a new suspension and just feeling things
or your shocks were really worn.

well as peter stated earlier... i got the tein flex with edfc....
i personally love this setup.... it handles well, the height adjustability is crazy... and 16 dapening adjustments....and the edfc is the greatest little gadget ever.... it comes in really handy in my opinion.... cause the rears are a pain in the ass to adjust by hand... so i just push a little button and it adjusts on it's own.... (I'm lazy) and it's easy to fine tune it whenever you need..... and yes i actually adjust it quite regularly... depending on what area i'm in and the road conditions....
the spring rates are....
10/559 front
12/671 rear
so when i make the dampening stiff it's stiff but when i soften it up... it's very streetable... i also have it dropped around 2.5+ inches... and it handles very well....
