who likes them?
personally, they are doing my tits in on the car now, the ride is too harsh, no matter how much you adjust them harder/softer the rebound is stupidly harsh

ive had the rsx kit and was good i thought! handled like a go kart, but yeh maybe a little harsh on the bumps....

but most aftermarket suspension kits are designed to stiffen up, and lower the ride height

my rsx kit is maxxed out on the hardest damping, it's a go-cart on a good flat road surface, i've been pleased with spax tbh

The thing with them is not just harshness but over bumps instead of landing smoothly they seem to be far too bouncy, think its probs the rebound settings
