The ride quality is very good, better than OEM 2016 dampers by a significant margin. It's downright comfortable. This is on really awful Baltimore city roads and long trips to the mountains. It's likely better than 2017-2020 dampers too. Better than Bilstein B6, Koni, etc. Almost like a normal car.
Which...I do not love in terms of handling and feel. It's a little sloppy and not very confidence inspiring, especially the rear. This isn't just me going from those 3 ways to an OEM suspension. I would still prefer the 22 dampers to any of the 1st gen OEM dampers and a lightly used set of these would be a good choice for someone looking for more comfort.
Just some quick thoughts.

When you say 2017-2020 dampers you mean Showa base or PP Sachs?
