Progress has been disappointingly slow due to other commitments, but so far: The suspension has been on the car about 3 months (car is an otherwise bone-stock '74 beetle). Subjectively, the ride is better, but needs some tuning with the adjustable front and rear shocks it has. Steering is very light (almost too light), which causes it to "dart" slightly with any bit of steering input. May need more caster (has 3 degrees now). Still looking at roll angles and intial turn-in feel of the steering, and I'm considering a stiffer anti-roll bar although I can't do too much with the skinny stock tires. Nothing seems to be wearing out too fast, but I'm still planning to replace the urethane a-arm pivots with OEM-style rubber bushes. I promise to post later with more info as it comes in and those always-popular pictures!
