Shocks and springs

ok i have 002tls. and it has about 172xx km. and now i am thinking of replacing the shocks and springs to make the car smoother. I was wondering if theres anything else i would need alone with it? and what are some of the good sites to buy them from?

Ps: i am nt even sure changing shocks and springs would make the care smoother, i am just assuming since it sounds legit.

If you're looking for OEM replacement, look at KYB GR2's. They're as good if not better than OEM.

^ You just need the shocks. Tophats and bushings are re-used.

You could get OEM #4 and #13, but I think its optional.
