Haven't had much of a chance to drive it this weekend, but first impressions are good, certainly no less uncomfortable than stock around town. not too sure where the damper is set though. They have just been fitted as supplied from HKS.

If you want to sell them, you should a) post in the classifieds section, and b) put up a price.
