If you using sport spring...get a original absober(kayaba oil)
If using standart spring...get a monroe..
but I using front sport spring with monroe abs...its good for handling and cornering,compare original..
my 2cent

what's the main difference in changing stock springs to sport springs and stock abs to sport abs? other than lowered look for springs? Which would you normally change for handling performance? the front or rear for a FR car?

better handling & less rolling during cornering, firmer bound & re-bound....

for FR car or FF car, change all 4 or a set is the best way to be done..

if you wan comfort and stable (reasonable) drive, go for KaYaBa's absorber. APM had shown decrease in their build quality recently. Temporally dun go for monroe, for i had received a lot of complain on it's sensa-track and reflex type absorber. Earlier one didn't make through 3 months on our road and later one didn't make through 9. So far so good, Kayaba seems to be the most reasonable absorber for it's price range.
reminder: if you wan to upgrade to 1.6, you need to change it's spring and spring cap as well.
