They are a tad bouncy but liveable.
I wouldn't recommend them for the track but it handles better than stock.
I will be upgrading to koni's & eibachs or bc coilovers when funds allow.missing being Swedish

Thanked 4,587 Times in 3,404 PostsI think they're great if you don't like your spine, however, from experience, they do work on the track, and the strip, on the road however, not so good. For those of you that know the A34, just north of Oxford, there's a bit of road that has some big dips in it, at 70 (ish
) I'm actually out of my seat.

Thanked 579 Times in 486 PostsMixed reviews then? If you can handle the hardness they're OK?
I had spax -60mm shocks and springs on my fiesta and that was very harsh!It's a 5 Cylinder Orchestra!
