Ran the car into London last night.
Verdict is that I am happy with them, which is a relief.
They are currently set about 360mm from floor to arch front and rear (I think). and dampers set F5 R4.
Is the ride more firm? Yes
Is it more harsh? No, much less harsh than on the old damper + H&R combo (pretty sure its all down to the shot dampers) There was one road that was a bit of a bone shaker but its a shocking road.
Less bouncy? Yes for sure, it feels like it follows the road surface better, but less bounce.
Better straight line grip? Maybe a placebo but yes on first impression, seems to not make sure a fuss about accelerating when on full throttle in gears 1 and 2.
Better cornering grip? Yes I would say so. It feels much more stable mid corner. Before it seemed to do this annoying front-back see-sawing thing which didn't inspire much confidence.
Worth £1400? Debatable. I wouldn't have bought these new at that price. I was going to do down the Bilstein B8 damper route which would have been about £550-£575 (with my H&R springs) until these came up on here.
I am going to get used to them as they are before I start messing with the damping to see if I can "Dial it in" as the race car owners would say.
More feedback to come.
