awesome, that's what i wanted to hear, finally a response on topic lol. Just got a couple more questions, how much firmer is the ride over stock, being a liberty i really don't want a rock hard ride and how good is the damper adjustments, cheers

My Mate has them on his liberty and it looks awesome low and he tells me it handles really well I've been in and it is a nice ride compared to stock although you will feel bumps a bit more with these in. I don't really know much about coil overs but my ride and his both improved upon putting these in so I say go for it man : D

They handle very well, ride is a bit rougher but you have to expect that with firmer suspension. I recommend it.

Mate I have them in my car and if you have the dampening st to all the way soft the car will generally feel like it just has a set of lowered springs in it with standard shocks. All the way hard is relatively stiff, but this is how I drive around all day.

I say it would take you a couple of days driving around to get use to them, but they feel heaps better than OEM

I can definitely vouch on Simon's words. They are great, take sometime to get used to but you will never regret them. I was part of the original group buy Simon arranged with Mao..

I've got them in my 05 WRX they feel much better, but be prepared to gain an intimate knowledge of every single bump in the freeway!
