Question Anyone have any opinions or experience with: KYB's & 5Zigen R rate springs?

I'm considering this setup for my GC8 and wanted info other than what I found in the search.

Damn that looks nice with those rims!!!

I've noticed that the 5Zigens are low and relatively soft, which is great for street driving, but they have about as much body roll as the stock setup, but the car sits much lower, so that wasn't so good at the track.

I found alot less body roll with the AGX/5Zigen's than stock- they are progressive wound, with the "low" end being just softer than stock and the "high" end being just as stiff as your standard DMS 40's. The car is a bit too low for winter for me though (it was about a 2" drop). I can't even get my head under the front bumper with the 45 series summer tires on !
