I ended up picking up a set... went through a few rounds of ordering extra parts - MRC cars need rear upper shock mounts (I went with Vorshlag), and Vorshlag camber plate owners need a 5th-gen/Porsche front upper spring perch - but got them installed recently. I still need to dial in the ride height and drive it around more. Initial impressions are great, the damping and spring rates feel spot on for sporty street driving and height adjustment is in the range of what I was looking for - a lower drivable car that retains the roll center proportion front to rear, none of the springs I've tried retained a good ride (edit: there was always some frequency that didn't jive with the MRC calibration and things got bouncy for no reason... rear Powel YYZ and front Eibach combo worked best as those are the linear springs from each company) and had that silly looking rear squat (presumably because the MRC shocks are different and don't like progressive rate springs). They are stiffer than FE3 shocks in "track" with Eibach or Power YYZ springs.

I had to travel and only drove the car a few miles about a week ago... I'll need more time with it to really tell what's going on. My front wheels are 19x10ET23 with 275/35 Nitto NT05, and 19x11ET43 with 305/35 Nitto NT05R in the rear.

Also, the springs in the photos aren't adjusted to where the car is sitting in the last image... I think you can go about 1/2" lower than where my car is sitting in that last photo.
