Which struts would you pair with Tein springs?

Good day y'all. 2nd thread here from a long time lurker.

So the 2015 LX is about to need new tires in a couple of months. I figured, might as well do the whole suspension and wheels to change it all up. I've already decided that I will be sticking to a springs and struts set up. Coilovers are just too aggressive and too low for me. The car is a daily driver and the toddler tags along with me as well.

I've already decided on Tein Coil Springs (SKHD8-AUB00). Which struts would you pair with that? I'm looking for a more comfortable ride (if that's possible). Anything better or at a minimum, similar to the comfort level of the oem suspension is a win for me. Hopefully, your recommendations are not too expensive...

After suspension, I am looking to pull and roll the fenders so it can fit Vondoven Forme3 16X8.0 +25 - 4X100 - 73.1 wheels.

Thanks in advance!

Other than Spoon (which is helluh expensive), there aren't really any struts out there yet for the GK It's either coilovers or try and use struts designed for the GE Fit. People have had luck with Koni Oranges for the GE; That's probably what I'm going to do.

Thanks for the advice. No moolah for coils that's for sure plus they are too stiff in my experience. Which springs would you pair the Koni orange it with?
