Vtecvoodoo, could you just tell me why?

I know that GC it's better, I already search for this info... but I already bought this R1, cuz it's the only ones I could buy here in Brazil... if I had choice, certainly I would buy the GC's, but with this situation, I just need to know what I have in my hands before put them in the car...

I like to know what you guys think about the driving conditions with them... the rebound, the drop capacity, and the durability... (I will put them with Koni Yellows).

Please, give your note from 0 to 10 about them. (But explain! )

All your help would be great ! thanks !

They are cheap knockoffs made with low quality materials. I've seen sleeves slit in half and springs snapping with these cheap knockoffs.
