It's noticeable that the springs are firmer on bigger bumps, and the soft setting (really only rebound is being adjusted) is apparent. For cruising it's a good compromise, but for aggressive driving, you'd want to go firmer. I'll try them out on the track in about 2 weeks which will be the real test.

Two small things I learned about installing the kit:
1) It's better to remove the old shock/spring combo from both sides before you install the new ones. Otherwise, once you install the new shorter shock/spring on one side, you'll need to remove an ARB link in order to drop the lower control arm on the other side enough to get the shock over it and out. Or you could use a spring compressor if you have one.

2) Install the remote adjuster on the driver side before you install the shock. The fuel lines make it hard to get an allen wrench on the adjustor hat once the shock is installed.

My wife and I drove around downtown Denver and she didn't say anything about the ride being different. I'm sure if I asked her, she would have commented as it is different, but the fact that she didn't say anything, even after she saw me installing them earlier in the day, says that the changes are small. Like I said up top, I'm quite happy that the street characteristics of this kit are as reasonable as they are. Can't wait to try them out on the track.

FYI while its true that most single adjustable dampers only adjust rebound, the DFV the adjustments change both compression and rebound force.

I was going by the Ohlins' Owners Manual which says "The adjustor affects the rebound, and also, the compression damping to a smaller degree".

I got in on a set from this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/sponsor-...1178739/page2/ and never did receive them. Emailed back and forth with SBG a few times and still never received the remote adjusters.
