Ok, I had these installed a little over a month ago & at first ride they were extreamly harsh & thought " will I be able to live with these?". You know, I felt e-v-r-y bump in the road. Well, fast forward to after the "break in" period and I'm now enjoying the ride as they are, LOL, a huge improvement over the original(170,000) ones. Although, there is something to be said of the limo like ride you get with old shocks.....Highly recommended.
