I just got mine put on about 2 weeks ago. They definatley soak up landings from jumps better. I haven't rode them in the woods yet but I think they may be on the stiff side. I like them much better at the track though.

Spend a couple hours and ride adjusting them. Adjusting shocks to the riding conditions cant be stressed enough. I see so many say these ride like crap i need new shock. Have you ever adjusted them? no. well theres yur problem. People think aftermarket cure all suspension problems but even aftermarket need to be fine tuned.

if you get gt thunder rebuilds they ask you your specs and set them for you they actually recommend not changing anything and they are right on.

I actually did adjust mine some. Compression full soft, rebound one turn from full soft. I actually had to adjust the rebond on my rear after installing these. There were some whooped out or washboarded sections where the rear felt like it wanted to bounce me off before I adjusted it some. Never noticed that happening before. I think with my front handling better it showed where my rear needed some adjusting. So far I think am going to like them. I may still need to do some more adjusting though.
