I have driven a car with coil overs and didn't like the feel when corning and hitting bumps. Truthfully my cut springs feel better than that car did. And that is sad.

Exactly. The ride quality def suffers.

In my case, no. Still pullin the same 60' time. However, I've only been to the track once this year w/ the new set up. We'll see what next spring brings. It did improve my weight transfer though. But I have since switched to a higher spring rate. So, we shall see.
