I've had them on for about 2 years but haven't put a ton of miles on them as this is just a fun weekend car, not a daily driver. Ride quality is almost identical to OEM. I've had a few passengers comment on how surprised they were with the soft ride, and how they expected it to be much harsher given how the car looks.

Good stuff I'm just weighing up options for suspension. Can't decide on springs, has kit or full coil overs.

HAS kits seem pretty good bang for buck. Just don't want to prematurely kill the oem shocks

You're going to run the risk of prematurely wearing out the shocks when you lower the car, regardless of what option you go with. There's people with the oem performance suspension who have gotten leaky shocks. It just boils down to what you value most:

Springs - cheap but no height/ride adjust
HAS - semi cheap with just height adjust
Coils - expensive but have height/ride adjust

I wanted height adjustability but didn't want to break the bank so HAS worked for me.

In the past I have tried springs, HAS kits and coils and have never had an issue with the shocks in any configuration.

Your car looks brilliant. Do you have a build thread?

Also are the M1 and M2 steering wheel buttons functional? Stock M2 doesn’t have them.

Thank you.

No, the buttons are just decorative.

I actually haven't gone to the DMV to get the used car inspection sticker since I scooped my mine up, the whole coronavirus thing has only delayed it more, I'm not complaining though.
