I think Tan327 might have the same shocks and lowering kit........they seem to work fine to me but he'll probably chime in with some better info.

Yeah I've got a 2/4 drop with those shocks, I really like the way it rides. It's still a little bouncy but you don't feel it, seems like you're floating.

I have some with my 5" drop. I like 'em. They are firm, without being rough. Seem to help a little with body roll as well.

I have a 4/6 slam with these shocks. I got two things.
1. They will stiff'n up the ride and illiminates the body roll. On ramps are a blast
2. They are not forgiving on the initial small roadway bumps and percieve to have an extremely bounce feel. I am fed up with the bounce and looking for a new shock. Perhaps a Bilstein.
