Default blown shocks... what to do next?

So after 4 years and 60k miles of running my tein s techs on stock shocks.... the fronts finally blew.
Im in a pickle as what to do next. should i just replace the fronts with oem ones? As far as aftermarket shocks, which ones would work best with tein stechs (they have soft rates). will any after market shocks provide any decent improvement in handling with the teins?

also if it matters im on pirelli all season tires.

will it be worth it to drop that much money when using such soft springs?

Don't spend too much $$ then. Koni Str.t but even those aren't cheap. If you don't care about how long they last Tokico blues?

Koni yellows are expensive but they are well worth the cash. Tokicos or Skunk2s would be a good choice, because they arnt that expensive and they will do the job.
