I have only got my full licence back on Saterday so I am dying to put them through their paces. So as you could well understand it is still a bit early to say what I really think of them... They sre set at medium firmness and I must say that the car handles completely different.. It is alot stiffer than my King Sl's and I am sure that I can get a very comfortable ride from them.... But the performance gains will be phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The improvement in straight line grips and braking is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damping adjustment is 30point and the difference between fuel hard and soft is huge, front adjusters and easily accessed from te engine bay and fortunately I can reach the rears through my wheels. The biggest improvements are in straight line grip and braking, the car stays dead straight on the gas and also on the brakes with no diving. Previously is was like dog with worms when accelerating and braking hard the front end was very squirelly and would dart off depending on depressions in the road etc.Next weekend the diff cradle is coming out and its coping a set of Superpros blues all round. My diff mounting bushes are that bad that I can move the diff up and down by hand...... (some may have noticed the viscious banging when i was getting a bit enthusiastic on the cruise on friday night)Unfortunately ran out of time too fit up the fuel rail but I think I need too buy a couple of fittings anywayAnyways a couple of pics.....

I had too extend the shocks aprox 50mm too put them in the middle of there travel with the car @ resting hieght.If they had been installed as per the way they where packaged I'd probably have the same opinion a you!I was lucky too pick mine up very cheap. Too purchase Tien over the pedders I would have been spending only a couple of hung shy of double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is still running factory bushes so hopefully i dont suffer a similar experience as you once the superpros go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
