Do you think asking will make more people who have them pop out of the woodwork?

Had them exactly one year ago. I sold them. 10k front 6k rear. Daily driven car.

Pros: Looks great! adjustability. Looks great! Looks great! Professionally valved.

Cons: Quite a bumpy ride even at full soft. You become a bobblehead.

I wasn't feeling it. Sold it. I've got Koni Yellows and H&R Limited Editions. 96-00 Civic.

in for some reviews also! I believe these setups are more made for strip than street. These coilover k-sport, PIC, function&Form are kinda stiff for the regular person who wants to feel comfortable!

For me Iminot really worried about comfort but more of performance and quick adjustability.

Mainly, yes. When all that is called for is a slight drop, lowering springs will do the trick just fine. Technically a regular Joe doesn't need more than stock for the type of driving that regular Joe does. And coilovers simply aren't (or shouldn't be) designed for a street car in the first place; performance-wise, they're overkill.

But it's certainly nice to know that there is the potential for it to handle very well should the need ever arise, like if you decide to hit the track at some point. I think that is the allure. And some people are willing to make sacrifices in daily drivability for that performance potential. How much ride comfort a person is willing to give up, and how well a coilover negotiates the compromise between on-track performance and streetability, combine to determine what is a good setup for given application.
