Any difference in ride quality is not going to be because you have / don't have extended upper mounts.

The PIC's pictured do not have extended upper mounts on them, btw.

Did your function need the extended top hats? What did it ride like with the stock top hats on it?

Those top hats most likely weren't built for the FF shocks, I know your not gonna be able to "slam" your car anymore but I would change it back to the originals.
