Default Tanabe Sustec Pro-SEVEN coilovers: Anyone have any opinions on these?

After driving myself insane trying to decide among HKS Hipermax RS, Tanabe Sustec Pro-Seven, and Zeal Function-Xs, I'm almost set on the Tanabe for my G35 Coupe.
Does anyone have the Tanabe Sustec Pro-SEVEN coilovers?
I'm wondering what I have to cut to have better access to rear adjustments. Tanabe says something about cutting required for the rears on the G35c.
If anyone has this set, or know about it, can you give me some pointers?
Also, how is it like on the street? Ride quality, any noise issues, ease of installation, ease of adjustment, etc.
If you have felt both HKS Hipermax RS/LS(+) and the Tanabe Pro-Seven, how you would rate the Tanabe as far as ride comfort goes? I wanted something a little stiffer than HKS RS and Zeal Function-Xs would be the perfect setup (although they cost about $1000 more), but nobody had any in stock, so I pretty much decided on the Tanabe, which I heard only good things about.
Although I think it might be just a little too stiff for daily street driving, maybe I can live with it. As a return, I'd have something more track oriented than the HKS RS when I want to go drifting.
Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated.

Alex

I haven't ridden in a car with the Sevens yet... but I can vouch for the Zeal Function Xs. I know the distributor has a set in stock (coilover rear) and even though retail is $2600 they don't usually sell for that much. You can try one of the forum sponsors such Aspec or other if you're interested.
