I've come around to this conclusion over time as well. Definitely enjoyed the improvement over stock and keeping my warranty intact (at the time), but you end up having to drive around the fact that the car needs some time to settle and doesn't like fast transitions.

In hindsight, I'd stay stock or dive into a real coilover setup (and do the camber plates at the time the coilovers are installed to save on labor). Further hindsight - I would have skipped EDC entirely.

What would be a real coilover setup that people recommend then?
