Default ITR illumina users chime in. Are they an upgrade from stock?

I've just slapped new illumina shocks in the front of my integra, in place of the stock R shocks. I've noticed they ride more smoothly and are well damped, but the body rool seems to be slightly more, even on the 3rd setting. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyone else used them on the stock springs? What are your thoughts? They feel soft to me.

BUMP. Any thoughts guys? I just took it for a drive again tonight, and I think I'd have to turn them up to 4 out of 5 to get the same damping as the R shocks. I guess Ive answered my own question. I think its more the compression damping of the R shocks that make them feel more agile. the tokicos are softer in that way. The idea was to use the rears to compensate for my GSR rear sway, but at this rate, Im not sure they'd make a difference.
