I haven't had them for a long time, but I have only positive comments.
On the soft setting, ride harshness is equal to stock, but overall 'quality' feels much better. Cornering is greatly improved and control of the car is vastly superior. I currently have them 1/2 turn stiffer, and the handling improvement is very significant. You can really fly into 3rd gear turns as if they were straight. The ride is more firm, but you have to try to notice it. Everyone that has ridden in the car tells me that they see no difference.
Only two negative comments: Rear shocks not as easy to adjust (you need pliers as the tool doesn't fit), dive on braking is not as improved as the rest of the handling (I guess you need stiffer springs for that); since you end up braking from much higher speeds, rear-end wiggle on braking becomes slightly distressing.
