Default SPT suspension vs. stock wrx suspension

as the title says, I am wondering how the stock suspension compares to the dealer upgrade SPT springs (and struts?) that was offered on 03 wrxs.

I was thinking of buying used with low miles, but i have permanant back problems and do drive a lot. I like the stock ride its easy on me, also considered tein H tech.

Or are full coilovers the way to go, I heard HKS hypermax have a very nice ride.

Thanks for the input

i have the tein s tech and love the ride. i also like how it didnt drop my car to the point where it was hard to drive over speed bumps. its just enough. i have heard that the h techs have a much nicer ride quality. But it also depends if you are going to autocross or anything like that, if thats the case then fully adjustable coilovers are the way to go in my opinion or the sti suspension i heard was very nice for autocrossing.
