I have these in my B.. not really that much improvement in handling. Its definitely stiffer than stock, but really any aftermarket performance shock is going to be stiffer. Its still a comfortable overall ride, you do feel the bumps and holes a bit more. Ive got the sway bar and strut bar too.. so my overall improvement of ride could be attributed from any of those. For the money, like low $400s.. Id probably would have gone with some Tokico HPs instead, reason I got them is cuz I could incorporate into new car price and pay at 8% over 5 yrs lol.
