YCW looks very nice. I'm surprised I've never heard of them. They also seem to be owned by (or own) MFactory who makes my LSD that I'm very happy with. One of those messenger pop-ups offered a 35% discount on their Reference series (a $2300 coilover). I'll have to do more research, but they do look much like what I'm looking for. How are they for a daily, and how have they held up?

Thanks for that. Now I have another option...

I've considered doing that, but I don't think it's worth the effort/cost. Though, doing those is about the same cost as doing upgraded upper and lower shock mounts...
