I am not an advocate for replacing springs, unless one is broken. There are so many variables, including ride hight, that keep me on OEM springs. They only get weak if there is consistant overloading, and most S/V40s don't get used like that.

As for which shocks to get, that is personal. New shocks will immediately improve the ride and make it more comfortable. KYB feel a bit harsher than Bilstein Touring. Even replacing with Sachs/Boge (OEM) will improve the ride and do less damage to your wallet.
