Well I got them on today. Unfortunately I didn't take many pics, I have one of them out of the box and one of the front on with the tire off...

However I did try them out today (until my damn intercooler pipe popped off yet again). They are freakin awesome. I don't have experience with the high end fully adjustable coilovers, but these by far exceeded my expectations.

I only drove it about 12 miles, to the store and back. On the way up I had them set like they came, stock height and middle settings. Rode great. Just a little bouncy, but more of a stock feel on bumps and alot stronger in corners.

On the way back I decided to do 3 clicks soft on the front and 2 clicks hard on the rear. The front felt like there were absolutely no bumps at all (longer rebound time), while the back felt like alot more bouncy and alot more "road feel", if that makes sense at all. So, I figure for daily driving, set it 2-4 clicks soft all the way around... and for what I like to call fun runs around town, set it 2-3 clicks hard.

I can honestly see how much difference it would make on a track. Say up to 1+ seconds per lap. It's insane, and when I parked it I found myself wanting more. In the next few days I think I'll play with it some on some different settings, definately drop it down 2-2.5 inches all the way around, and see if it still has that perfectly smooth and race ready feel to it.

I think the part I like the most is as far as the hard/soft settings, it literally takes about one minute to change to any setting you like. I already knew that but it's a whole lot different when you experience it for the first time.

I'd have to say that on going from stock struts and dropzone 2" lowering springs to these coilovers... I give them a 10. Now hopefully when another member looks for some info regarding coilovers, they can find something in this post helpful.
