Got mine installed today. The ride feels as smooth as stock or a little smoother. There is less nose dive on braking also. The steering feel to me feels about the same but for some reason I think the steering wheel feels a little "heavier" when turning. Maybe its the same but it sure seemed like it was heavier. Could over tightening the 3 bolts on top of the strut cause it to be a little on the tight side? Also, I did not get 2 inches of lift. I only got 1 inch
Measurement was 40.5 stock and now sits at 41.5. Not sure why I a got the short end of the stick.
