Yeah. Email info AT rs-r.com and tell them what you're looking for. Mention your driving goals as well, and your typical driving style, and they'll help match you to a set that makes the most sense for what you want.

Once I paid them I had coils, from Japan, to my desk at work within 7 days.

Oh yeah definitely. I love the car riding on them. The car feel super planted. They are stiff, but not too stiff. My son slept in the car twice on the ride. So they definitely ride nice at soft.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding? Pillow balls used on suspensions will always make noises in a variety of ways more noticeable than bushings as any small binding of spring under steering loads, motion range, or other elements will directly transfer metal-to-metal onto the chassis and subframe. These are designed with no-movement joint, for racing use only.

Street application should always be equipped with rubber/poly bushings to resist hard impact/frame damage on less than ideal roads, and for long duration of use between rebuilds and logevity of the suspension system as well as frame of the car it is mounted to.

Personally I think the ride is slightly firmer than stock when on the softest setting. I've had mine in for almost 8 months and I drove around on stock suspension for a little over 2 weeks just to feel the difference. But hey that's what I think...
My suggestion would be to go for a ride with someone with this suspension and make up your own mind.
I don't believe you will regret going with sports-i unless you want to go low then I'd wait for the black-i
