Bilstein Sports with H&R Sport or Race springs = best bang for your buck.

Edit, I didn't realize this was a BTS kit. I read OEM replacement and thought of the Touring shocks and struts. This kit isn't a bad deal. It's very similar to the Bilstein Sport/H&R Sport combo.

Yes, significantly.

Edit; I didn't realize this was the BTS kit, so to answer your question yes it will work on a base model.
