Get the KYB's. Coilovers are generally too hard anyway. Set the KYB's up right and itll handle like its on rails

Suppose u would know from having a few.. How do u set them up right? U mean with the right springs?
Which of the springs would u recommend goes best with the kyb shocks?

Nah man they have to be those specific part numbers for the right shocks to fit.. Doubt any auto place will have them in stock, u will have to get a place to order them in.
I may have some for sale very soon that look and felt in fine condition, will let you know once I've got them off the car, if your interested.

Those part numbers you listed are for the facelift versions. The part numbers Toblerone provided are for pre facelift.

oh ok, yeah was a little confuse as most of the websites stated for all FTO models but the part number was different.

but springs would be similar?

Yup, as long as you get FTO springs (They are the same as a couple of other cars) but all springs aren't universal. Cheapest and easiest option would probably have to be King Springs.
