Do you have and problems with bounce in the front end when you come to a stop? I did at first, but switched out the front strut mount rubbers with new OEM and it went away. I was trying to find some Energy mounts, but could only find them in the big kit for the entire car. Have you seen them around?
Stay away from the KYB strut mounts, they are like Jello.
I love the springs. "feels ~20% stiffer" like H&R said, reducing body roll and breaking dive, much more sporty stance. And now that I found the right setting, they are really comfortable too.
I bought mine off TireRack and they also had the KYB "mounts" which meant the rubber ends that cap the struts (not the rubber that caps the spring). Mine have been nice and not jelloy but maybe we're talking two different things.
Much more confidence in the corners.
I don't have any bounce at stops. The bouncing I experienced was due to uneven sections on the freeway that causes all cars to bounce a bit. 'cept my bounce felt a little worse.
Hey, so if you OVER damp a spring (like set it at 4/4 and 8/8) does that mean the strut starts taking some of the shock work that the spring is supposed to be doing?
