I won't have them on the track until maybe September (it's just too hot right now). But here are some initial thoughts:

Installation went fine. I called a friend over and it took us about three hours which also included rear control arms (for camber adjustments). Putting the coilovers together from the bag of spacers and washers took a little while but everything went smoothly. There were no fitment issues or any problems we encountered (no missing parts and nothing left over either).

A week later, I took the car in for corner balancing and an alignment. This was a local race shop and they set the car pretty quickly with no problems. I went with -2 degrees of camber and the fronts can probably reach -2.5 with the camber plates. A pic of the car with a mild drop:

On the street, it's pretty comfortable at full soft. You can feel the stiffer springs but the shocks keep the ride comfortable. And there are no strange sounds or clunks coming from the suspension.
