more aggressive springs such as the h&r lower the car, which puts much more pressure on your stock shocks- which in turn will wear them out much faster. Bilstein shocks, koni etc are made to support more aggressive shocks and won't wear out and the ride will be much better.

the only pros of coilovers is adjustability- something that i do not care much for. Hopefully some aftermarket shocks hit the market soon since the cheapest coilovers are like 1500$, while a spring shock combo will probably be 1000$ max
