I noticed right away that they have a lot more dampening than stockers. So much stiffer, I like it.

ok here's my report. They are stiffer and I also like them. The big hard bumps or dips are still hard hits, but overall it's still a massive improvement.

With as low as you are, that stiffer shock helps a lot I'm sure.
