    Thumbs up

    I've got 'em ... with Koni shocks ... nice combination for a good ride.

    Paid $350 second hand plus some for fitting ... but well worth it. Try Jaxfit (there's a number of them scattered around the city).

    Cheers,
    Dave

    I like how mine handle, they toughened up the VR6 steering and I feel tyre flex before body roll now

    Very pleased with the handling ... I've since had Koni shocks added to replace the OEM ones and the combination is ... PERFECT! Absolutely love the handling now.

    Dave, and ride comfort...All for the handling improvments but i dont want a big a decrease in ride comfort department.

    Since going to the 18s with low profiles ive lost about 10-15% i rekcon, figured the new springs will lose another 10-15%. Thats about as much as i want to lose.

    Did you get an increase in comfort with the new shocks?

    Thanks again for the help

    Ride and comfort not compromised in the least (in fact ... I'd say improved) ... there are some pretty nasty potholes around here and, when I've forgotten them or can't avoid them, the new setup is a vast improvement on OEM. Instead of the teeth-crunching BANG as you hit them, the impact would feel about 50% as harsh as previously. Plus the added cornering capability (on rails instead of skittering sideways around a tight corner) .
