i have fk coilovers and i like them. a little bouncy in the back though...you might wanna look into the dampening adjustable ones.

I have ground controls with Konis. I love them. I soften the Konis for road trips if I have girls on board. Some of the girls I hang out with don't like the bouncing. Plus it's distracting.

At full soft the car rides super smooth. Even on 205/50 15 Yokahama A-032Rs
At full hard the car rocks on a road course.
Plus I can upgrade to stiffer springs. I'm upgrading to a higher rate this spring for some more cornering traction.
It's like playing Grand Turismo with my car.

Hmmm, I think I need the rear to be a little stiffer. Bzzz, bzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. There I'll try that.

I have bilstein pss9s.. and definitely no regrets on the adjustablity. If you want to slam it this won't be it, since its only 50mm lowering. But I have the stiffness set at 5 all around, and it feels just like the stock suspension! had it on 4 all around and it handled a lot better. Adjustment is easy.. for the rear you twist the knob in the trunk.. for the front you'll have to lay down on your back and rear under to get it.. don't need to jack up the car or anything though. costed me 1300.. don't order from your home state...
