I've included more detailed impressions/pics in the Member's Garage threads
for each car, but here is my general review of the shocks:
I installed fronts only on my black roadster and all 4 shocks on Sora. I
noticed an immediate improvement in ride quality on both cars. Rebound
control is much more controlled, especially noticeable with Nismo rear leaf
springs and front coil springs. Gone is the high-frequency, bouncy
"race-car" ride that I've been accustomed to. I honestly did not expect the
difference in ride quality to be so striking...it's that good.

Highly recommend the Bisteins for high-rate springs, and the best part is
that custom valving is available! The modified front lower mount also makes
changing/removing a breeze--not my desire but I can see racers utilizing
it.
