Not sure yet, the ride is great! Too much traffic to see how they really are...

Default I like it at lower speeds and when I *want* to oversteer.

I took some of my usual twisties and it's much more neutral than I thought it was before. BUT...I did do some high speed quick movements on some long sweeping then hard decreasing radius on/off ramps and *woah* does it get tail happy if you come in too hot and turn-in late. I'm not sure if I'd want it like this (ghetto medium) on the track or not, but I think Hard is right out. I'll keep driving and get used to it.

IMHO, higher rear spring rates would accomplish more v. a harder rear sway. They'd keep the rear down without being tail happy.

Love mine but did not use the aluminum spacers. Seemed like a pain in the *** and did not know exactly how to use them. Ohter than that, I would say it's a good improvement. Install is kinda a pain in the *** just make sure you have the right tools, especially the 6 mm hex extension...and circlip pliers.
