1.	In a word, Wonderful.  The adjustability is fantastic, even though I run 'em a
	few notches short of full-firm, full-time.  With the Neuspeed/H&R springs,
	the ride comfort is not compromised(for being on full firm).  The car goes
	through corners like it's on rails.  It also helps to be on smoothly paved
	roads;-)  The H&R's lower the car about 1.5"-2", and IMHO, lowers it to the
	point that it should come out of the factory this way.  Agressively lowered,
	but not "slammed".

2.	The Koni's w/ H&R/Neuspeed springs combo went for about $875 (approx.)
3.	New Dimensions

Hope this helps,

Well I finally got my Konis installed. I have to say, they are much more
comfortable than people have made them out to be. Even on the stiffest
setting, they don't jar the fillings out of your mouth. I will say this,
if you've driven with stock and had R1s on, the feeling is kinda the
same. Very responsive!!!

The car hardly rolls whatsoever! The feeling now is that the car I'm
driving is finally a sports car with some handling. Well worth the
money.

Now the question is how to adjust them for AutoX? Suggestions
appreciated!
