I've had them on my car for about a year and a half. Initially, I thought they were a great mod, and I was happy. Over time, my perceptions seem to have changed, because now I'm sorry I spent the money. My car's fully lowered, with trimmed front bushings, (done well before the Koni install) and it seemed a little firmer. Now, it feels much harsher than before, with lots of hard slams on crappy roads. The only benefit I've gotten is while cornering on rough road, the rear stays more planted than is did when stock. Bottom line, for the money, I wouldn't buy them again. I'm just glad I didn't pay anywhere near full price.
