Find a local meet near your house. Attend the meet. Ask some friendly locals what suspension they are "on" and ask for a ride( not a drive as most wont let you) but a ride.
Make sure they take a road with real world bumps. Exit ramps and on ramps tend to be smooth. Smooth surfaces are NOT a challenge, bumpy surfaces are. Want to know which set up you will actually want to "live with" beyond the "happy to have these on my car after I spent a grand stage" is over ? Ride on bumpy surfaces,.... as for most ( including California ) thats what you live with on the daily drive/commute and thats where you will formulate your real opinion of the shocks you want. * Also ask owner if they are adjusted soft or firm etc. Thats my .02 worth.

Wonderful advise .. pitty that won't work in some smaller countries where such cars are still rarity and not much of a local communities around them. But then again there are lot of other things/vendors/shops/services too that are only there in bigger countries and i'm missing locally. Regarding particularly coilovers the best i can do when doing choice is to find people with clue (like RCE/CSG guys) that i may trust and read their reviews/advises . No option of trying it out in other cars, and i highly doubt that trying 'similar brand/model' in other car models will tell well enough how it will do in these ..

the adjustable ride quality is also a plus. i have different settings for LA street, freeway and canyon driving - something i couldn't do on just lowering springs. if you just want it lowered for looks, springs are fine. but if you also want to retain ride quality and performance, then i'd go with coilovers. if i knew what i know now, i'd have gone with coilovers from the start and skipped the lowering springs.

I have RCE T2, even in the track settings, I feel it rides very close to stock. When I am sad and have long periods of time between track days, I will back them off 2-3 clicks and the ride is superb.
