I'm going to get my Powertrix installed by Charles next weekend so I'll give my input on them as well, although Ive heard nothing but great things about them and I'm looking forward to going airborne off my seat lol. I do like a stiff and firm ride tho but hopefully these aren't super crazy.

Coilover set up doesnt happen overnight. Takes a multiple runs with multiple dialing of your prefered dumping set up. Plus including adjusting the height. Been using my coilovers for about 4k now and Im still experimenting on different set up On different driving conditions.
Get a pen and notebook log in your different set up until you find whats best for you.

Ive learned coilovers are not a typical plug and play. You need to learn it to fit with your driving behavior.

Over all I find the coilovers are much better ride feel than OEM but if your considering to change to RS-R it wont be any different if you dont have the patience to learn it.

Just sell your powertrix coilovers. Coilovers might not be for you.
If you do intend to sell I might be of interest as I heard good things about this coilovers.

Believe me I understand suspension tuning doesn't happen overnight, I do off road with 6 way adjustable suspension (air spring rate, air spring progressive curve, low speed compression, high speed compression, low speed rebound and high speed rebound. But all damper adjustments revolve around spring rate first. If the spring rate is wrong there is really only so much you can do (not saying his rate is wrong for everyone it just may be too firm for what I wanted). The rs-r run 8k/8k so essentially stock but a higher performance (better frequency response, faster reaction time and less hysteresis than a low pressure twin tube) adjustable monotube damper which may be all I need. Again I can't stress enough I do not mean to slam his product for how firm the rates are they are smoother than oem over ripple bumps so that is saying something, it just may not be for me is all.
