Stock springs or something else?

Hey guys, I have a question, I'm wondering if I should just swap to stock springs, I know I don't have stock springs because these are doo doo green and look like crap quality, the person before me put them on there, but anyways I'm about to start driving my car daily, and I needed a smoother ride on some bumpy roads, and these springs don't cut it, wanted to see if anyone could point me in the right direction or if I should just go back stock.

This right here. They say don't put coil overs on a daily but I have them on my car and I don't mind them but it's up to you

Yeah if you want to stay lowered and have good ride then yyz is your best bet if you dont want to be lowered then just go stock.

Good coilovers would be fine, but otherwise you'd be looking to go with the YYZ's or maybe the OTTP springs (but the ride apparently isn't as good as the YYZ's).

Cant speak for the ride of yyzs vs ottps but in terms of low, the ottps make the car sit much nicer.

Yyz ride better than ottp for sure but ottp does have a better drop well in the back atleast. In the front they are about even.

I know since ive had both yyz and ottp

Roadmagnet springs are awesome as well.

Love mine. Ride just like stock SS/TC springs with a firmer feel. No worries of slamming or bottoming out the spring like other inferior springs either.

What you should expect from YYZ

Looks great and handles even better.
