no, not really. The consensus around this site seems to be

For looks: go Swift springs

For performance and looks: go coilover (not comfy though)

for performance and you don't care about looks: a set of good struts (however a lot of people here will disagree with the last bit because they care about looks or they haven't had enough hands on racing experience)

It all depends on what you want. I personally think the stock height is way too low, so I'm not going any lower, just getting better dampeners soon. If i pony up the money I'll have some custom built double adjustables for around $3k, but otherwise Koni are a good choice at $1k
