New Coilovers
Just got these in the mail, will be installing these along with my new wheels(57motorsport in winning blue) which will be a non staggered setup.
Fronts are 18k 15 way adj.
Rears 14k 15 way adj.
Valved aggressively Semi-street/Track
I'll review them once installed.

I've had the same setup for 2 weeks short of 2 years now. Believe it or not everyone, they're not that bad on the street due to how impressive the dampening is. Last time I drove a stock car it felt way too soft to me. However, that's to keep folks with less NHV resistance than myself happy with their "cute little sports car". ha ha.
The car corners FLAT. Each time I've gone out to the track the track junkies were VERY impressed by the suspension setup. I'm running mine with: Azenis 615's 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear, ST adjustable rear sway on stiffest setting. The ST front bar is non-adjustable. I also have Cusco front and rear braces installed. I have found that the setup Smoky sent to me has proven to be what I like most, despite it being what some might consider a biased towards oversteer (which makes the car handle much more like my 2002 S2000 I had).
FYI, if you like making adjustments often you will likely wind up leaving out part of your trunk liner in order to get to the rear driver's side adjustment that you will need to use the extension on. I have no trunk liner at all so this is a non issue for me!
I'm sure everyone is curious what you paid 4 yours (I paid $3100) and to hear how your review of them. Please let us know what your other suspension mods you have too, and enjoy!!
Not to go too far off topic, but I just realized you have a Tracy header too, I haven't installed mine. Did you tune your ECU first or just put the sucker on? I was concerned that between my 70mm exhaust and test pipe, that it might lean out my A/F ratio too much. Perhaps you could attest one way or the other?
