Wow... that's very interesting to note. A lot of people poo-poo it at the track. I'm not trying to win circuit races here, I just want to learn how to drift. But, I don't want to ruin the balance of the car (especially one that is setup so nicely from the factory).

Coilovers are much easier to setup. If the bags aren't setup properly, it can actually be back-breakingly stiff. You also have some additional things to consider with bags, but after driving a car with bags, it really changed my perspective on the performance aspect. I'd say it still needs to work out teething issues, but don't discredit the technology.

I doubt I'll be driving out since I already spent all of february driving the IS all over the country, but I would definitely love to fly out for it.
