How do you like these, i currently have the flex z's on my ek. There's barely any reviews on the mono sports for any chassis. I gotta say i do like my flex z's. I track/autocross and do the occasional road trip in my ek. I ended up buying some JDM only ohlins for my ek recently for the same reason you bought your mono sports. The jpy is about .0067 to the dollar as of today...

I like them alot. On the softest setting they are more compliant then stock, but still reduce body roll and on firm settings they are ace

Looks like you have your rear Whiteline sway bar at the stiffest setting. I would recommend you actually put it at the softest setting and the front at the stiffest setting of you are going to autocross it. This will help prevent the car from rotating/oversteering.
@CedricParker

I know running less sway bar in the rear is supposed to be faster around an auto-x course. I just don't really like it for regular driving.

I want to wait until I at least do a autox to give a full review on how they handle. But I've been driving around on full soft. The ride is very nice and smooth they dampen bumps well while still limiting body roll.

If you haven't tried a solo event I recommend at least trying it. It's not as boring as you think. If you do SCCA you can enter in the XB (Extreme Street Lightweight) class and be competitive with that amount of power. I'm usually at every SCCA Solo event for Atlanta Region if you want to meet up. It starts back up in March.
