r-b-x is an unknown quantity at this point
what is that you are looking for in a set of dampers? street? track? compromised balance?

i also tend to think that higher end coilovers, no matter what brand are going to be harsher on the street since they were valved with higher spring rates in mind. sure they have adjustability, but i doubt the range will be from lexus smooth to race ready in a single sweep. plus you have to consider it with springs rates since they also contribute to harshness. a harder spring will be more unyielding to bumps than a softer one.

i'm starting to think a customized set of koni yellows may be best all around. in off-the-shelf form, they kinda suck for the s chassis and why i balked at them before. but if you can find a used set (right up your alley) and all all the bells and whistle (revalved, shortened, add your own mounts, rears made externally adjustable), that'd be a pretty good set up. but by that time i'm not sure how far away you are from getting one of koni's double adjustable ones.
