The ride was nice. It's definitely stiffer, but not bouncy. There are 16 levels of dampening adjustment. I have the front set at 6 (16 being the stiffest) and the rear at 8. Haven't really tried other settings yet, but both my wife and I felt that this is pretty good. The cornering has greatly improved (that's the purpose of this mod).
I haven't pushed it to the limit yet, but I tried it at a freeway on-ramp that I'm very familiar with, and noticed a nice improvement. It now corners "flatter", less body roll. I'm thinking that I may take the car to the auto-x this weekend. I'll test out the new mod if there will be fun runs at the end of the day (I won't run it in the competition runs because I'm going for year-end points with the S2000 :P ).
The installation was pretty straight forward. It took me 3-1/2 hours to complete the installation (including snapping those pics and adjusting the "correct" ride height). I started out with the passenger rear first, putting the shock bolt back on was a little difficult. But then I disconnected the swaybar and the bolt slid in without extra effort. The fronts were easy, typical Honda front suspensions (except the RSX and new Civic).

the ride is adjustable, so you can have it ride soft or hard. the coilovers also give you to option of lowering the car for a more sportier feel while being able to maintain the closest aftermarket stock (sounds odd) ride you can get
