I have heard you should remove any fillings..as you will lose them on the floor if you dont....

I cant wait till I get some RA's!!!!!!!

Sorry....in your teeth!

It will be pretty rough. I dont have a set yet, but that is what a few have said that use them on the street.

I have the type-HA's. I also got them with the pillowball mount. Lets just say the ride home when I got them was insane. After a few hrs I took it back and had them removed.
And yes I like bumpy, loud rides, however that was a little much for me! I highly don't recommend it.

Ok, I have a set of RA's. They will not cause your fillings to come out but they will kill your kidneys Trust me I know! I ran a set of RA's with 16/12 kg/mm on the street with the pillow *****. Rough. I decided to change out the pillow ***** to the stock upper mounts. That helped a bit but still not enough. So now, I'm running a new set up springs, 12/10 kg/mm. It's bearable but still stiff due to the damping strenght of the shock. It's great on the track but for street, you'll eventually need a kidney transplant I noticed, the more weight you have in the car, the smoother ride, ie more people. Quality is superb and fit is excellent. I recommend them if you use the car more for thr track. This suspension will make you track it, otherwise you've got to be a hardcore individual who loves the shakes!

I really appreciate all your inputs. I have an answer already.
Forget about the pillow mount!!!!! However I still have 1 more question,
since RA and HA are stiffness adjustable, can't you soften it to make
the ride more comfortable? Just wonder!!!

Also, why Zeal have to come with pillowmount and people find them ok running on street, are they special materials pillowmounts?
