Ask them for a shock dyno. That will tell you what you want to know about them. Without a shock dyno, its pointless to try and guess or go off peoples reviews when those people may or may not know about proper suspension. Without the shock dyno, your just taking a gamble and guessing. They are however, very popular in the rx7 and 240sx crowd.

OMG!!! If ever we meet face to face you get a hug!

the other thing that I would like to point out is the spring rates. I really do not agree with the softer spring on the rear with this car. Why - the motion ratios and the affect on the wheel rates.
