i have RA, same ish basically as far as harshness.

my car is a street and track car, i would not recommend these coilovers for dedicated street use.

youll like the firmer springs on the track, and overall the aluminum shocks are very durable.

i'd get the jic flta2 for a street driven itr with interior and stereo.

My old roomie had them on his type R and I drove it now and again. I didn't think they were very safe for street use. The problem was that thy were so stiff that you would break traction if you hit anything and the car would follow and undulation in the road very quickly.

I have the Apexi N1 pro's in my del sol and feel that it is about the same. I wouldn't want to street drive any coilovers that are designed to that much of a racing extent.

I need something for say 75% street use and 25% track use. More aggressive than Tein SS. Any other suggestions?

It`s a good shock, but their springs and lack of rates totally blow. Plus, they use a smaller ID spring so you`re stuck using their crap.
