It's hard to put into words, but the best way I can think to to visualize it is that it's about the equivalent additional harshness of going 2-3 clicks stiffer on my dampers.

The flip side of all that, is when you find some good asphalt the car feels basically perfect. It's like driving a go kart, steering response is immediately with no slop, changes in road angle or going into a curve feels like it sets immediately and weight transfer occurs more quickly. It really feels great.

It's also a bit difficult for me to judge NVH in isolation because I've done so many other things to the car which affect NVH.

Thank you for the information! I appreciate it. They sound perfect. I don't care much about ride comfort within the City. Most of the roads are crap anyways (Not complaining, most city roads are like that) I found it "rough" stock and the same on coilovers. However, I have some amazing County roads here that are very well maintained. I can see these components being a fantastic addition for these roads and track.
