Lol ive god some to.. but car is stripped and rack is on the floor.......but just before i got them my car started handleing shit loads of movement on front end....turnd out to be rack bushes alowing the rack to move side to side there for moving the front wheels while driving so i bodged them so they were solid and the response and feedback was better then the car had ever been so car'nt wait to get them in and try them out......

So id say yes....GOOD

Oh and i got mint service and quick postage ......And they are spot on quality...

Hope mine don't run out of date to LLOYD its your fault my car is stripped down i was only dropping the front end to clean rack and fit bushes and now the car sits stripped on axle stands with no engine and box waiting for a full respray...

What are the downsides of them if you don't get any more vibration as people say?
