I am, that's why I wasn't using tapatalk to begin with :bliss:

html or bbcode perhaps? never bothered to even check if this forum supported it. I guess it does, at least partially.

What do I think?

Are you really going to believe what a person trying to sell them to you is going to say?

This is the first car that we have actually fitted a set to, but have driven other customers cars that have had them fitted, but not back to back. With the work we have done to Rabands car, I have driven it a few times and drove it again this morning before pulling it apart to change them so got the chance to feel back to back.

The shocks are set to the softest setting and the height was left to what Shockworks recommend, did it feel different? yes it did.

Bumps can still be felt, as you would expect, but the cars body does not seem to react to the bumps like it normally would and the car had none of the wallowing feel that they normally have. The rear of the car feels more planted when rocking the steering from side to side quickly and the steering actually feels more responsive possibly due to having a linear rate spring rather than a progressive wound spring which would have more body movement during the short part of the soft part of the spring.

Ride comfort is something different for everybody, some live with some ridiculous suspension mods, some are very fussy. If you are a person that thinks a "slammed on the ground" and hardest setting possible gives the best ride, then these are possibly not for you as you will be wasting the tech and experience that has gone into them, if you want a good handling car with the least amount of trade off for comfort, then these may suit you. (in the short drive that I did, I could not see any trade off at all)
