Hi guys - my 240sx project has become more and more a daily driver that I like to have fun in, rather than a fun car that I occasionally drive during the day.. I purchased a brand new Tein Basic coilover set a bit over a year ago and am really just looking for a more comfortable ride. None of the struts are blown, springs are fine, I just do a LOT of driving on really crappy roads all day for work.

What would be the recommended way to go? Keep my springs and go with some different struts? I tried looking around for pricing on -just- the Tein flex/etc. struts but could only find them as coilover sets. Would there be any problems using my Tein springs on another brand of strut? I'm assuming they are interchangeable within reason (I've heard guys mention running Tein springs and KYB struts, for instance). And, if I could mix and match, what would you guys recommend I go with? I used to autocross/etc but haven't in a long time, so even a softer ride that isn't adjustable wouldn't be out of the question. Any help would be appreciated!

edit: Also, if I do end up with a different setup, think anyone would be interested in a set of used Tein Basic struts? Not blown, but been on the car over a year now.. at least 30k miles.
