    I am running the FSD and the Ver 1 TSW springs with no issues BUT these springs are no longer available, so I would suggest stock or the Bilsteins.

    I'm planning on sticking with stock ss+ springs, at most would look at jcw springs(or equal drop) as I drive in areas, around once a week, which I would not clear otherwise. That being said, how did the fsds compare to oem units? How was/is the handling? How was/is the ride quality? Would you recommend ie fixed plates or oem plates?
