    You know, there is a point at which your average Joe won't notice the difference or care about the ride quality between a full custom Ohlins and a Tokico/Tein S-Tech suspension nor would they care to know what makes one better than the other as long as it can go "speed bump scraping high".
    Well, I meant that buying an expensive coilover setup is not always the best way to go. Like you said, a lot of people won't be able to take advantage of high-end components. Sometimes having such a good setup can be detrimental to the way that said average person drives.

    E.g. taking advantage of higher spring rates, properly adjusting bound/rebound dampening on shocks, etc.

    Also the argument of 1.6 vs. 1.8 really only applies to those of us that can't afford to go buy a later 1.8 to swap in. Its the same reason Honda guys decide to boost their D-series rather than swap a K-series in: money.
