Default Which suspension set up

After 90k km of hard mileage, my shocks are getting a bit tired.

Narrowed down to the current contentions of coilovers

Toda fightex
KW variant III
Tein Flex
Bilstein PSS9

The 1st 2 cost abt $3.3k while the tein and bilsteins are abt $2.5k. BTW price quoted are in singapore dollars.

I heard the original showas are supposed to be quite good, I don't want to end up being worse off than OEM. Also I am more comfort biased as the car only visit the track very occasionally.

Anyone with any experience?

Thank you in advance.

I want the Todas but have also heard good things from everyone that runs the KWs. IMHO both these are worth the extra coin, although comfort isn't my goal. Not like the S is very comfortable to begin with...

Thank you for all the opinion so far. The trouble is for about the same price, I can get tein flex with EDC, while KW will be manual tuning only.

I sat in an euro R, accord CL7 with fightex, they were really hard.

Think I have narrowed it down to either KW or tein flex.

The KW coilovers can be made quite comfortable for daily driving. They are a great coilover!
