Ohlins 2 adj coilovers, anyone using them? feedback?

Thinking of getting the Ohlins/Works stage 4 (2 adj) coilovers. Anyone have this set up? feedback? ride? how much better track times? worth it?
Would be even better to hear from someone who went from a (1 adj) Ohlins to a (2 adj) and was it worth it?

Thanks in advance

I have them on my car, but went from worn out 30kmi stockers to the Works Stage 4, so it was a HUGE difference. I also installed every polyeurethane bushing available, the full Cusco brace system front and rear and H&R sways, so it was a complete night and day transformation.

That said, I love the shocks. I went with the standard 12kf/10kr, but probably should have gone 11kf/10kr because I'd like a little more oversteer. Even in an imperfect state, my car is retarded. I went to Sebring a couple months ago for a HPDE and basically tore up everyone that wasn't either a pro driver or in a full-on race car. But I am going to hook up with Robispec next month and try to get it dialed in a little better. I want to be able to make the pro guys sweat, and I'm sure I can do it with this setup and a little tweaking.

Oliver & Simon @ Works were a HUGE help. They put me in contact with one of their engineers and he was very helpful and answered a lot of my questions before I bought them.

I'm running the stage 3 works/ohlins coilovers with their swaybar and all I can say is it is awesome, the car handles much better, the steering is more precise and accurate, feedback from the car is hightened and it feels more solid and more cofidence inspiring.

I love my c/overs
