Changing my current set-up

I recently moved from TX back to NY and my current set-up is h-sports with koni yellows. With the really bad roads in NY, I just ordered a set of koni fsd's. I am going back and forth about springs. I am leaning towards the JCW sport spring which will increase ride height a bit but will make for a more comfortable ride. Does anyone have the fsd, jcw set-up? Curious on your thoughts. I relly want the TSW springs, but they are out of stock for the R53 with no anticipated availability date as of right now.

Be sure to install STD's (strut tower defenders). You're going to need them.

Do you have the jcw springs? I was your set-up in your sig file? Just curious on the look of the wheel gap?

I had that combination, it started good, but the shocks fell off in performance not long afterward. Based on my experience I say avoid FSD shocks.
