The ride quality is incredible. The coilovers ride very very smooth. I sometimes wish they were a little stiffer. 
They definately do stiffen up once you start gettin on it though. Even at the height im lowered at they are still smooth.
$1150 is about right for the coilovers. I just wish they came with camber plates up front.

shoot check the first page i believe they go like 2.9 low in front and like 2.6 in back . not sure. but yep plates up front and shims in back should do your ride good. are you planning on keeping the same wheels?
