This should absolutely be considered by most people. If/when I get an FR-S/BRZ, that's probably the route I will take.

Even the stock-replacement KYB's we put on my wife's Mazda3 last year to replace the blown original dampers (keeping the stock springs) give *fantastic* high/low damping, much better than stock and infinitely better than any budget coilovers I've ever experienced.
That's what inspired me to swap out the Tein SS coilovers (which had approximately zero low-speed damping and infinite high-speed damping) for Ohlins on the FD. Ride and handling were *transformed*.

Dont't let people tell you more expensive coilovers are worth it. They're not. As long as they're height adjustable, and the colour you want, then go for it.
finally someone with a legit answer!! color is one of the most overlooked but beneficial features in a quality coilover!
