Replacement Spring/coil question
So I have coils on my car already, I don't necessarily dislike them, but the ride comfort just isn't even remotely there, even after adjusting the dampening screw. Along with a pretty intense rattle from the front and won't hold an alignment.I really would love to swap to a-spec springs, but can't seem to find any since they were discontinued. If I was to change over to springs again( I don't have the car lowered, bought it with coils on it already) mainly going for comfort but a bit firmer than stock, what should I go with? or should I buy a better set of coils?

If you want ride comfort, one of the most critical components is your choice of tire. It will be a cheaper investment than shocks & springs and it may alleviate your discomfort without you having to spend money on the more expensive parts.
I use General G-Max AS-05 tires at stock size.

I was running Continental DWS tires before these and the ride comfort on them was not good.

Your car not holding alignment and making noise is a issue that needs to be dealt with. It could be a blow coil-over or a bad one on your car causing the issue. Get that fixed first! It could be bad compliance bushings, bad ball joints, bad sway bar links, etc.
