Just back from a cruise down the Peninsula - This setup should come stock - or at least as a factory option on our cars. It took the roads out the back of Dromana, Red Hill, Balnarring etc as if they were freshly laid, not potholed, lumpy bits or tar.I swear - they have also straightened and smoothed out the corners up Arthurs Seat since I was there last - the car now just steers through them and stays flat the whole way. The extra grip coming out of corners I've now got isn't small either - couple of roundabouts that used to give my tail a decent kick out are now just taken smoothly with the same power down. Ride isn't any less comfortable than stock - just a little different. Found myself flinching/clenching like I usually do when going over the usual railway tracks but they may as well have not been there. You still feel the bumps, but the car doesn’t.Haven't played with the dampening at all yet – still on the soft settings setup/recommended by Brett – even on soft – wow – light and day difference in the handling from stock.As Mick said above - gone is the wallow.Steering - it no longer feels as if the rear is trailing the front with a bit of lag - feels as if the gap between the front and rear wheels has been shortenedBraking into a corner - so much more balanced - so much less weight transfer. Like the railway crossings - I'd be prepared/waiting for the cars usual behavior - it didn't do it, just stayed flat and composed. the dropping of the front/loading on the inner tyre wasn't there.Note - I wasn't driving at 10/10ths, just having a bit of a spurt over different conditions - getting a feel of the differences the new coilovers have made. Call it 6 or 7/10ths, but with the old shocks/springs it a few of the corners would have felt more like a high 8/10ths Definitely an outstanding product to add to your lineup Mick and something Brett/Shockworks should be very proud of.
