I've had these coilovers on my car for over a year now. Initially I had some issues with them due to the spring rates I was using, 13F & 10R. The springs would actually compress that far down that it only had about 10mm clearance.
I have since had the spring replaced under warranty to 17F and 13R. You may think these spring rates are a bit excessive, but they are pretty comfortable.
Whether I would buy them again if I was in the market I'm not sure. They are definitely good for the money.

I have the same coil overs, but the D2's instead...
All I have heard is bad things about these coil overs, but I have not had a problem with mine now and it's been 18 months now, no leaks, I reckon they are great...
My ones are off a JZA80 Supra though, whether there is a massive difference though, I can't tell you, but like I said no complaints here

Tom,
It's hard to compare the two. I don't find the ride that bad, as I used to have a Silvia with drift suspension that was that stiff it cracked the shell off the chassis. If your airbags are still good, perhaps you might look at upgrading your sway bars and getting all new bushes and seeing how it handles. I wish I had done this first. The airbag suspension is a good piece of gear. Who knows, maybe we can organise some sort of swap so I can return to standard.
As for springs, I'm using 17kg/cm front and 13kg/cm rear.
My car is located in Newcastle. If you wanted to go for a ride to get a first hand impression I would be more than happy to take you.
