Yup... I am. I've been running them since I swapped the car from an automatic to a 5-speed, which is going on two years. What I've noticed is that the "progressive" bit is crap. The second you put the car down on the ground all the "progression" is taken up by the weight of the car, leaving you with only the more tightly spaced coils for driving. The car sits with a noticable forward rake when empty, but the second you sit down inside or put any weight on it everything levels out nicely, leaving a very good-looking ride height. Even relocating the battery to the rear levelled it out quite a bit. The ride is actually very nice - I'm running Boge Turbo shocks f&r - but body roll is bordering on excessive for my tastes, even with f&r sway bars fitted.
My opinion is that if you're looking for a lower car, the Jamex springs are fine. But if you're looking for a stiffer ride or better handling, you may wanna look elsewhere. I know Damien's SPG rides nicely with the Intrax springs, and IME SPG springs are, well, not the greatest choice. SAS may be a good place to look as Kevin KJ suggests - all their other products are high-quality.
