Default Rsamerica suspension upgrade/replacement

Looking for some advice. My rs has stock suspension with lowering springs. One of the lowering springs broke. So while I'm in there replacing the spring, I was going to replace the shocks as well. What do you guys recommend. The car will be mostly street driven, but there will be some track days as well. Should I just replace the shocks and get new lowering springs and what do you recommend on that. Or does it make a huge difference going with a coil over set up like the kw's. And if you do recommend the kW's, what model number do you recommend.

Just put KW V3's in my C4 and really loving them! Amazing for a street car, but I'm sure they would also be great on the track, if set up appropriately. AutoTalent in CA is offering a great deal on these currently. Happy to provide info if you're interested.

If you intend to stick to the shock and spring combo, everyone's go-to is Bilstein HD shocks, but Koni Yellows are supposed to be another solid choice (just not as popular).

I installed KW V3s on my RSA last season..Result, more composed than original equipment. The 2 adjustments option provide for plenty of options on and off the track.
Very pleased.
