I have them on my EG (700/650) and I'm very happy with them. Very light... I didn't weigh them, but when I held some Koni's recently, they were much lighter. Very nice build quality, etc. Expensive, but when you add up the price to shorten/revalve Koni's, there's not a big price difference.

I have them, but haven't had the car on the track yet... or driven it much at all for that matter.

As said, they are extremly light. I was shocked when I picked them up. I bought a set second-hand. If I hadn't found that deal, I'm not sure if I would have bought them or gone the koni route.

I have them, GC customer service is very busy this time of year, talk to Jay if your going to purchase them. I am very pleased with mine running 650/800 on a 93 GSR, Solo I, II, track days. Build quantity and materials are excellent. Spring control, dampening is very good, range of dampening adjustment is limited in bump, specify proper valving and there is plenty to work with. Approximately 3 pounds lighter than Koni Sports per damper.
