Bumpy, is the best way I can describe them.

Sits nicely on them though.

What drop is you car sat at over standard micky?
I have also been looking at springs but im concerned that the travel for the shock will reduce and then limit damping.

No idea mate, just whatever the Tein springs dropped it.

It's rather low though, can't get my trolley jack under the rear diff.

Can safely say I've never driven a Nova.

Didn't make much difference other than a slight drop on my Type R. It was just as bumpy with the standard springs.

So they don't take out the fast rebound on the top travel of the shock? in other words your not bouncing and jumping round corners right?

Got s techs on mine, the rides fine.. not at all harsh compared to some of the setups I've experienced. Theres certainly no bouncing and jumping around corners, If anything i'd like them to be slightly stiffer!
