The Megan Racing coilovers I used to have were very, very stiff even on "full soft." The Tokico/Tein allows for a smoother ride, but the handling is still quite good. I'd argue that it is better in most street/daily-driver scenarios because the car isn't upset by bumps and such.

If you're on the track a lot, I can see why you'd want coilovers. I ran mine full-hard on Portland International Raceway after running them full-soft, and there was quite a difference. However, we daily drive our Yaris and the Tokico/Tein setup handles great, rides well, and isn't too costly, either.

Can you go super slammed? No. But I'm a functionalist when it comes to my daily driver.
