Probably posted this info a while ago as well: I bought a set of Ceikas - bought them in the US and had them transported to Belgium - as I had my eye on a 4200 Spyder and had the plan to firm up the suspension. As I ended up buying a GS Spyder, I sold them to a French 4200 owner who was very positive about them.
As we're talking about more than a year ago, I could reach out to see if his view has changed if that would be valuable to anyone?

You probably posted this elsewhere, but it'd be interesting to know what spring rates / options you spec'd too.

As promised, here is his experience after 1y:
"I'm very happy with the ceika shocks. They control the body movement better, avoiding body roll, diving and front end lift.
I also find they are better at filtering out the shocks along the way.
I've just lost the freedom to choose sport or comfort with Skyhook, but overall I prefer the dynamic behavior of the car with the Ceika shocks. I have a rather sporty style and it fits very well with that."

Here are the specs I have to ceika when ordering, they get in touch afterwards anyway to help finetune:
"Spring rates & Shock Valving: Comfort with High Performance Valves.
Adjustable Ride Height: Choose this option for a standard adjustable
coilover length, it will allow to go close to stock height and lower around
8cm to 12cm at the lowest.
"
