So far so good, I've got around 1500 miles on the new coilovers and am happy with them. No issues with setting ride height and alignment to x74 specs. The handling has been significantly improved over the oem strut/spring setup in terms of confidence while cornering, and it's still perfectly comfortable for daily driving and highway trips. My only complaints have been that the rear top hat studs didn't match the oem bolts, and there is a clunk in the front when hitting large bumps, which I suspect is the original sway bar and endlinks not being happy with the change in ride height. I'm happy to answer any questions.

1250 Euro which is like $1400 (shipped). I'll be able to sell off the sway bars since my car, being a C4S already have the M030 sway bars.
I'm still not decided though...

Necrothread! I know, but I would really like some long term information on these before I pull the trigger. Did you ever figure out the clunk? I expect more NVH with a sperical tophat, but the term clunk has me wondering.
Most importantly, are they still in good condition and would you recommend them?
I've got around 10k miles, 5 track days, 8 autocrosses and am still pretty darn happy with these. Got upgraded sway bars and adjustable endlinks on this spring which fixed all the clunking problems I had. Have been running them much damping than Feal shipped them to me set at, and they are still pretty compliant for road driving. Fronts are about in the middle of the adjustment range and I have the rear set one click from full stiff. I am still learning how to drive the car - it is bizarre how differently this car needs to be driven to get the full potential out of it compared to anything else that I'm used to. Super rewarding to feel that rear end just start swinging around a little when pushing hard through tight turns. Was super happy on track - the most challenging circuit I did was the Shenandoah circuit at Summit Point, which once I got comfortable the car was regularly going airborne a few times per lap. Suspension held up great and I felt super comfortable really pushing the car once I was more comfortable with the track layout. Had no issues dropping into the Nurburgring-replica karussel at speed, nor cresting the "ski-jump" flat out on the bridge straight - car was also very surefooted on track and perfectly comfortable driving to and from! I would say for a more track oriented setup the road race option would be more suited, but I suspect that's not why most people are considering these.
Got another track day on Thursday, will see what else I can get up to.
