We have them on my wife's 2007 (ex-F55) convertible. They are very nice. Recommended. You'll be happy.

We have the TC3020P (24 way) on the front and TC3014P (12 way) on the rear.

I have the same set up on my LS2. They can be tuned for several different driving modes, I tune them for comfort on the street, firm on the highway and for drag racing i set the front to retract quicker & compress slower, and the rear to compress quicker, they can also be tune very stiff for road racing. I can actually adjust all four shocks without lifting the car. They work great for me.

Stock springs on my wife's car.

We used them because they have a shorter body so a lowered car still has plenty of shock travel. My wife wants her car *low* so these worked great for that.
