I've had these on my car for a couple of years.
As a street and track blend/compromise I absolutely love them. They ride BEAUTIFULLY on the road, increasing handling/response and feel a huge amount from stock with a MUCH smoother/softer ride in nearly every way. Feels like cheating.
For AutoX, crank them all the way up and they are pretty great too. Even with wide 200tw tires they keep body roll low, contact patch up and have a great feel.
For track, the faster of a driver you are the less they will impress you. They feel a bit soft for hard track use, but still not bad. Just a tad underwhelming.
My wish list for these if I could choose:
I'd gladly give up the soft half of the adjustment (basically make the middle setting the 'softest" as it's PLENTY cushy there), have full stiff currently be the middle and go that far beyond into the stiffer range and they'd be PERFECT.
Still, It's hard to find affordable coilovers that aren't rough pogo sticks, and for the price these do a pretty decent impression of the Ohlins R&T (which are a tad soft for track use as well, but are REALLY nice on the road).
I don't have regrets - anything i'd prefer (namely RCE T2) are nearly 2x the price of these SS-1 so i'm plenty happy.
