Koni STR.T would be a great choice for a DD car or even spirited driving. You would need a set of GT500 strut mounts to fit the 2011+.

The least expensive place to buy them may not be the best place to buy them. Check sam Strano one of the best in the bizz as far as info goes, steeda, american muscle.

I got some from autoplicity. Price was cheaper but no free shipping; ended up costing $94.40.

I was kind of testing the site cause they generally have great prices even with the shipping charges. I kind of came away with a mixed opinion. I never got a notice that my order shipped or a tracking # but the mounts showed up in 3-4 days without an issue. I doubt I'd order anything from there more expensive.
