Yea I had experience with them on a RSX-s. I bought them and weren't bad. One good thing about them is that they have markings on the body so when you're adjusting the height you can quickly reference one when setting the others. It also came with aluminum upper mounts. So that was a plus. The only thing I would say bad is that the spring rates were a little soft. But I don't know what the ap1/2 rates would be. Maybe you can let us know.

Sorry I should had mention I got the R3 for the Rsx-s. I forgot that it had adjustable camber plates and that was a plus. The range was 2-3 degrees of camber I believe. They also had 8 way adj. But that range could change for the s2k.
Height is adjusted separately from preload as well. These coils were 800 bucks when I bought them as they were trying to promote the brand. But very solidly built IMO.

I've studied this company ALOT before I bought it for the RSX-s. But they seem to be legit and are working hard to promote their brand. The American website wasn't built when I bought it back a year and a half ago. So it seems that they are working hard to promote.
During the Study of this company, they do make coilovers for the other companies to rebrand them. It's refreshing that they are the ones who actually make their coilover as oppose to rebrand them. So another + when I was about to make the purchase.
Then I wanted to get a set for the s2k, when I inquired about the spring rates they were: 10kg front/8kg rear (these need to be confirmed by mfg, not the dealer). But I honestly think that they are on the soft side comparing it to the other brands out there.
