Since you have a set, you tell us!

Seriously, though. Post up how those feel compared to whatever it is they're replacing. I'm looking at shocks and springs soon.

There was little to no compression stroke with the ones I tried, installed Bilsteins and they work great. Again, JMO.

when on the highest, they are SOLID (to me anyway). when on the lightest setting, its about like stock or a TAD bit softer (again thats just how i feel)

they are for your road racer/street warrior. not a good straight line ONLY shock which is what i need to find
