So after a very long week replacing nearly every suspension part on my car, I finally have the chance to evaluate these new shocks. Just for some background information, I replaced nearly all rubber components with new factory stock. Now on to the review...

Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed in this specific combination. Perhaps the spring choice plays a role in my perceived disappointment, or my expectations were set a little too high, but it seems to me that the ride I was expecting just wasn't apparent enough to differentiate itself from the stock equipment.

Pros:
-Definitely absorbs bumps and potholes a lot better than stock shocks/springs. (BUT...my rear shocks were blown to begin with)
-Handles on-ramps/curves slightly better than stock

Cons:
-Seems to be a bit too bouncy for my tastes (Could be the H&R springs)
-Magnifies every imperfection in the road
-Back end sways more so than with blown stock shocks

Overall, I'm quite dissatisfied with my spring/shock choices. I wish I would have either paired these shocks with the stock springs, or just purchased cheap Gabriel/GR-2 shocks strictly for the rear. Hope this review helps anyone looking into purchasing this specific combination of shocks/springs.

 

What exactly were you expecting?
Doesnt sound like the most logicle performance combo to me. Just my opinion though.

 

Well, performance wasn't really my agenda. However, I was expecting a much more firm ride versus what I got. The bounciness of this combo wasn't something I was expecting. It's rather annoying to be frank. It's actually worse than when I had two rear blown shocks.
