Default CUSCO Coilovers -- experiences?

any experiences with Cusco coilovers? the search yielded a bunch of coilover and cusco sway/strut bar threads, but had a hard time finding some on their coilovers. they are only 5-way adjustable, but is that good enough? my car is mostly street driven, so i need something street-friendly.... please chime in with your experiences or possibly other recommendations....
i've searched on tein flex, and the agreement seems to be that they are too stiff for everyday driving. don't know much about the hks coilovers.
also i see some eibach coilover kits for the z, but they don't seem to be very popular on here....

thanks.

I have the Zero 2's... The are great... I love them... Softest setting is stiffer than stock... Hardest setting is too stiff for normanl driving in California (most of our roads suck)... I have them set at 1/1* most of the time and 3/4* on the occassional "spirited drive"...

I have Zero-2's paired with Cusco stabilizers. I absolutely love them. It's not too harsh and they handle like a dream. Normally, I run them 3/3 or 2/2 for auto-x. 5-way is fine. Most people find an adjustment and leave it there.

had them on my car too - were a tad stiff for NY roads, but totally liveable

the number of adjustment levels is meaningless...it's how significant each adjustment is. On the Cusco there are very noticeable differences between each click

I'd highly recommend the non pillowball version - really not much of a point in the pillowballs on the Z unless its an all out track car, and they absolutely keep noise to a minimum too

we've got them in stock if you are interested as well
