First impressions are these things are FN awesome!!! Way better than stock struts and GF-210s. I am not sure how much the Whiteline roll center kit improved things as it went on at the same time, but damn I love the set up so far. Didnt have a chance to really hammer on it yet (but did as much as possible to I almost rear ended someone coming out of a tight turn over the mountain), but I am sure I will here this weekend. The way they handle bumps and railroad tracks is awesome and basically the car is much lower but does not feel like a lowered car at all. The spring rates and valving feel fantastically matched. I have ridden in cars with Megans, HKS, and Tein Flex and nothing felt this good. Thanks for the thread!

I find it interesting anyone is willing to jump into a purchase based off a statement without any sort of technical backing. What about the details of the damper internals? Comparable data perhaps? Hardly anything that can be fully understood off of driving on the road and just how "good they felt" to your calibrated butt sensory. Unless of course feel is all you're interested in.
Not a statement aimed at any one person, just an observation in general.
It seems quite obvious that some companies design to a higher obtainable objective, others just produce. Marked difference in functionality between the two.

there are new ZF SACHS RACING ENGINEERING coilovers for the use with stock rubber topmounts, or aftermarket plates. Dealer price is 1300 EUR, they are adjustable, use helper springs.
They feel superior to the BILSTEIN 16's, and I tried those in MINT condition. BILSTEINS ride as smooth, yet these seem firmer in actual stroke, AND seem to give me more confidence on broken up roads because of that. Bottoming out is virtually non-existant.
WORKS has these for 2700$, but yeah mine were ~1550$ in europe
I DONT KNOW THE RATES and they're not published anywhere, maybe WORKS can help. They have them on their site for over 2 months AND NOTHING yet...
Anyway for those track hoes you can always buy a set of stiffer SWIFT rear coilover springs and a FSB and adj. endlinks to compliment these.
