Well I've only had them for 2 weeks, but have driven maybe like 400ish. Scooped these up from Ryan at DTM Autohaus for a pretty good deal to hold me over for a while. Tommy from Music Box installed the coilovers for me and Auto Fashion did my fenders.. My wheels are spec'ed at 19x9+24 and 10j +10. The front can use a 10 mm spacer.. Rear camber is maxed out at 3.6 degree's... still need more more more though!

So back to the suspension..
The ride is very nice with the oem 16's. I had the coilovers at 4 clicks from softest. Suspension was a little bit stiffer with the small bumps which is quite undestandable since all the bushings are brand new versus my existing ones that were put through 150k miles of punishment.
With the ride height pictures, the ride is quite a bit rougher. I now have the front set at 14 clicks from softest and 10 clicks from softest in the rear. 19's is definitely a lot more rough.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase especially with the comfort level at my ride height. There is still a bit of room to lower the car as well!
Let me know if any questions come up!

I'll get pics of the rear soon, but it pokes out a little bit.
The rear is shaved only.. I want to pull it out a little though. And currently running 245/35 in the rear.. I want to move to 235/35 though.
