of course any worn out shocks will ride better then good shocks, consider how it has no control rebound, your car just "flow" on the springs

Hahah, welll guess I'm odd man out in this debate.

I OWN a set and I love them. Little stiff, but they did wear in a little; however, they still deliver a firmer ride. Mike from LSD told me they'd be a little stiffer, but he assured me I'd like them and that Blues and GR-2s were just aftermarket stockish struts (as well as other people saying this too).

I like them, but to each thier own. I've ridden in heated springs, cut springs, junk coilovers, so I've expierenced some rough rides. The price seemed right and if I bought aftermarket I wanted them to have a little stiffness to them as well so I can't complain.

It's cold out and I noticed when it's cold my suspension seems stiffer and almost "tight" so the weather along with BRAND NEW struts may be making you a have a little harder ride than expected.

At first, I'll admit I was a little upset, but then they softened a tad and I enjoyed the solid ride they provided. I'm pleased.

See? Little disheartening at first, but I like them alot! $200 is a really good deal. Where from? I forget what Mike charged me, but it was still a good deal compared to the other places.
