Showa Evolution anyone?

I own a EUDM MY18 BRZ and one of my future upgrades will be the suspension, not that I track my car but even for fast road driving use the very good and comfort stock Showa is sometimes sluggish and inadequate.
I like the stock suspension comfort thus what I am searching for is a dual valve system like Ohlins DFV, Koni FSD or Showa Evolution, soft at high speed/hard at low speed compression.
Ohlins are quite expensive, there is no FSD for us, so the Showa seems to me the best solution.
Anyone with Evolutions, it would be nice to share your experiences, type of use, pros cons etc!

I didn't both to read through. Regardless, better forum etiquette to just bump that thread again instead of creating duplicate topic threads.
