How stiff is the ride? Does it seem to be more a drift style, or drag/hook in the rear?
The ride is not to the extremes of stiff. If you are a daily driver you would barely notice the stiff ride once you turn the dampening down. The stiffness of the springs would only be noticeable if you are a very skilled driver.. for example an experianced auto-x or scca circuit racer taking turns at nearly 100% of your tire grip range. If you are taking spirited street turns it would feel like the tires are gripping the road perfectly. Now, if you are looking towards using the apex exv suspension to take more than spirited turns you could replace the springs in the rear with some lighter springs.. say tein/eibach springs.

Do you have a running list of people in the group buy so far? I am interested but if it gets down to $890 I'll be in for sure. My Rotary Extreme wishlist is starting to get way too long. 
Same question I had, $890 and I'm in.

What is neat about the apex exv is how the ride height adjustment is similar to the buddyclub suspension. You twist the bottom part of the strut onto the threads to lower the ride height and unscrew to increase. Also, the suspension does not need tools to adjust the dampening because all 4 come with an attached tool to adjust them at any time. What also comes in handy is that it comes with a bracket to hold your brake lines in the front. My old hks suspension did not come with that.
btw, howard's post was very informative.
