I was lucky enough to have an instructor that races his own evo competitively, and if he says they work better than stock, I beieve him. 
The difference was huge on the track. The car transitioned better and had a much more postive feel to it.
The ride on the street is more bumpy but not much worse then stock (my opinion)
I am running Tein S-Techs and unfortunately all my coilover money went to buying my house so I will have these for a while.

The key is to take all opinions then try out a few options then form your own opinion. The guys at RRE have there own driving style and if it doesn't match your's you will be just as unhappy with your purchase
Don't get me wrong if I were on the left coast I would have them set up my JICs (whenever I get them)

You really have to take the Evo to the track to get more comfortable with the performance in the corners. You really can't explore the car on the street because the performance level is so high.
