RS-R iSports coilovers

Does anyone here have any direct experience with these coilovers?

How does it compare to stock in terms of comfort?

They are approximately $1800. Do you have any idea how they compare to other coilover systems in this price range?

Thanks!

What are you looking for in a coilover? Ride and comfort? Handling? Adjustability? I personally haven't dealt with these coilovers but I know RSR had good stuff back in the jdm days. Don't know about now though.

Ride and comfort, with luck a little improvement in handling and about a one inch drop at a bargain price would work for me.

I have RSR Sport and really like them. Have them on for about 500 miles now. Set all the way soft, I believe the springs of 6/7. It's a little stiffer than stock, handles rought roads and sharp bumps better, but a little stiff on freeway dips at 70+ mph. But the handling in turns is night and day over stock and stock was pretty darn good! I have the Moto spec drop 36/32mm
