I have the TCK's, 400/700 and Vorshlag plates, and I love them. Sometimes I wish that I had sprung (heh) for the Doubles versus the Singles, just for that extra level of damper control. The Koni-based dampers are excellent at wheel control, and the ride quality is by and large, very impressive, given the spring rates and low ride height I have the car set at. Lap times also dropped. Saw about ~3-4 second improvement around a 2 minute lap track (Buttonwillow). The car feels very planted at autocross or the track. The only complaints I have is that being stiff and low makes the car more twitchy on the bumpy canyon roads out here, especially at speed. Not enough to be dangerous or anything, but it does keep you on your toes. Though, this would be true of just about any suspension when the car is low.

Why did you opt for the 700 lb/in spring in the back? After my convo via PM with Harold I'm leaning heavy back to the TCK option, so reading a lot on options there.
Also, what RSFB solution did you go with? Thinking I'll stick with a more simple setup, 400/600, OEM top hats, and the standard TCK VVS springs.
