Also need to check the alignment and make sure all is sorted properly there.

Great points here, personally I hated the crashiness of the car and that's a big reason so many went for coilovers. Also, an LCI car is 6 years old at this point and depending on where the car lived before, the factory dampers may be at the end of their life, even with lower mileage.
