Default Seeking counsel - refreshing suspension:

I'm running a conservatively modded '13 sport in coupe form. Very much an exuberant DD. Not tracked. Hitting 100,k and replacing suspension components early this summer.

Have new tires (Mich PSS 275/35-19 & 305/30-19) – [yes I realize that PS4S is out, which is precisely why I purchased these tires on clearance at $100’s reduced & a rebate card because I know that for the few times I might have squeezed out a few more MPH around a turn onto the 40MPH freeway that I mostly travel I’ll have a few more Pina Coladas in retirement!], brake rotors & pads (Stillen slotted - love), to replace current same items in the garage. Already have Eibach sway ft & rr but replacing clanking SPL end links with new ones (also in the garage).

Question is primarily on shocks. Not lowering since I'm a Chicagoland all season road warrior. No Swifts for me... So, at stock height, do I go Koni or OEM sport? I have no complaint with stock - question is am I missing out on better going to aftermarket??

Bonus question! What other parts should get swapped out after 100,k for safety or upgrade (other than shock mounts which I plan on replacing too)?

Thanks for your input!
Highly enjoy our forum and the knowledge from the members within.
