Default 2004 EX Shocks and Struts

So I just got some maintenance done in the car and they notice that my struts are leaking. Its not a big worry right now but i was wondering if by buying Raceland Coilovers would change the OEM suspension I have. Thanks guys, looking forward for the info.

Racelands replace the entire stock spring/shock assembly, if that's what you're asking.

Would it be a comfortable ride or would you recommend something else?

From what I read, Racelands are on the soft side. It is intended if you daily drive and want a lower ride height. It is not reliable due to cheap construction, its a case of you get what you pay for. If you want to track the car, get something else.

Yeah its just going to be Daily. I'm debating if it's good enough.

Would you put it for your daily?

if its a daily driver, just get the standard ones you see at any mechanic shop. if you want to go with something a hair stiffer, tokico blues are technically sold as a oem replacement, but are noticeably stiffer. I use them with eibach springs and really like it
