They are freakin amazing. Turned my teg from a sloppy handler to somethign that is comprable to a shifter kart in handling. Ride quality over the road is great. Not too soft, not too stiff. Excelent stuff.

Lee,

Do you sell just the sleeves and springs? Will these fit over my 8041.1152SP3 and 8041.1240SP3 shocks? If so, what are the rates like and how much are they?

thanks,
Steve

Naw, he just said "comprable" as in "able to be compared." Like "now my car handles 1/10th as good as a shifter."

I guess In my previous statement I kinda exclued the fact that my car had two blown shocks, and on one of the blown shocks, a bent shaft. So yeah, Made it a ton better, but not nearly shifter kart. A little over the top on my part. Sorry accuracy ****'s.
