It is stiffer than OEM shocks during turns...but still have a feeling that the spring is a bit soft for hard corning. But since mine is 17" which didn't have most of the force loaded onto the suspension system, it is hard to tell how will actually is compare to Mo's setup with harder tyre wall.

One cons, my ride is NOT lowered like before after having the fully functional shocks.... :thumbsdown: and seems the wheel is getting smaller....is time to think on the next project....19" M5 166.....

Maybe the reason why you dont think it is low enough was because you have the collapsed shocks.
You will see the differences if you compare with bone stock.

And you need bigger wheel too.

This will not count! Putting rubber onto your rod will not count as MOD while it will NOT have any performance gain. It just "lub" your rod which "last longer"..LOL..
