The SS was decent up until I blew one. The ride was pretty tight, and still fairly comfortable. However I would not say that its 500 dollars better then H&R and some illuminas (or neuspeed or eibach and some konis or whatnot). If you dont need the adjustability, In my opinion SSs are a waste of money.

On a side note, I think my strut blew as my roads are really bad, and I had the settings up pretty firm... just not a great combo... I do not think it was the result of any equipment failure.
