yeah they aren't really good for much. I have ksport AR spec coilovers (one step under the GT pro or whatever they are called) and they ride nicer than my friend with the basic coils. in reality they are all the same just different colors.
I love my Progress coil-overs, but if ride comfort is important then look elsewhere. It isn't really THAT bad, but I like feeling every little bump because I feel more in touch with the road. It isn't jarring or harsh, just it isn't smooth or plush.
Let's be honest here, the only really good reason to get coil-overs is to get a big-tittied woman to ride in your car and watch her breasts bounce around!
