I also regret dropping a wad of cash on real Work Kiwami's which lasted only 2 summers before my GF curbed them to hell and back. I yelled at her and then proceeded to curb another wheel a week later, karma is a bitch. Now that they're "ruined" I'll probably get pennies on the dollar for them when I go to sell them. Should have just gotten Rotas.
I have upgraded to Bilstein B8s (and racerx lcas ) and LOVE the performance and comfort of the sportlines + B8 combo. Give it a try...

The combo is very competitive to other comparable dollar setups. I've driven a couple different $1k-$1.5k setups and the only ones that compare are the RCE tarmac 0s and Fortune 500 coils.

I bet swift springs would be even better with the B8s but I got my sportlines for $150, with an additional set of struts (cause the guy couldn't figure out how to take 'em off without ruining them )
