Go with the T1Rs with the added dampening it tames the stiffest springs and makes them feel less harsher then stock. So far I only got the backs on and with your advice hopefully the fronts go on smoothly. But, with just the backs on with my Arospeed fronts and stock struts. I have zero secondary bounces and a way more comfortable ride considering the backs now have that 6k spring rate. I can't wait to see what the fronts feel like.

Go for the T1R S-Spec Damper Kit...I think it's much better than the other one...

Okay, both front and backs installed and aligned now. The car feels great soaks up all the small bumps with a firm but, stable feel. There is no secondary bounce after each bump like lowering springs alone produce. The illusion is the suspension feels softer than stock but, going up a drive way or over a speed bump you know it's stiffer. Seems to track better. I'll find out this Sunday and autocross.

The only two complaints I have with this suspension is there's nowhere made for stopping the top bolt from spinning and the fronts were marked left and right reversed. Other than that great product, great bang for the buck.
