The springs are great. I was looking for something a bit stiffer than oem and this is perfect. The ride is not harsh at all. In addition, it feels a bit more responsive. This is definitely an improvement over the older racing beat springs, when it would sag after a year or so. I can't wait to try it with a set of racing beat sway-bars and endlinks. I still think the oem setup is a great for handling and DD, but I'm planning to track this car in the near future, so this is a compromise between original and too stiff.
