Yeah, OEM shocks. This is a temp solution mostly, planning on running threaded body stuff eventually.
There's evidence to show that the OEM dampers are overdamped for the OEM springrate, and the car now feels ever so slightly underdamped, but on the edge. It's not in any way bouncy, no excessive motion, etc so on the high side it seems fairly well damped. The car is low enough now that you have to be careful though, it can bottom out. After almost 2,000 miles though the dampers are holding up fine though.
