depends on where you live and where you like to drive. The roads around my town suck and a good number of the mountains roads I drive would be pretty bad. On my Tein RE, which is extremely similar to the RA, it'd cause my car to swing the tail out on MANY occasions or cause the front to chatter and understeer into the corners because of how rough the roads would be. Even driving around, it would jar me pretty good firm, not harsh but still uncomfortable. It made me feel bad for my passenger, whom ever it may be that I wouldnt' want to subject her to it for long road trips. But when the roads were fresh and smooth, it's one super handling beast. This is the perspective of when I was 25 years old or so, it's been ~2 years since and I still won't go back to it. Too rough. Instead, I went to bilstein shocks with oem springs but stuck in MUCH stiffer swaybars. Now it is both faster and handles better on the rough roads because of the softer oem springs. Yet still excels on smooth fresh asphalt because of the stiffer sway bars.
I don't race and I haven't gone to the track yet in the 3 years of ownership, and I found coilovers to be overkill for me.
