I DD the ST setup on stock sways, mostly for the drop and look. Ride quality is very good especially considering the drop I'm running in the summer. My brother's mkIV R32 is on KWv1's (same basic thing) and on that platform the car is STIFF. He drives the 1er and always notes the smooth ride and settled feel. I'd say the ST rears are likely soft/underdamped based on nothing but feel, but it wouldn't deter me at the ST price point.
Bottom line, ST's are $$$/smile winners for those that don't track. I got mine for $780 from 1xracing which was a straight google find. The ST's save cost by using plastic rear collars and cheaper corrosion-prone body materials. That said, I rock them in upstate NY (snow/salt) with no worries, they are too cheap to worry about.
