I have only taken a couple short shake down drives to make sure everything has settled, but all I can say is WOW completely transformed the car. Granted the original 2 front dampers were pretty marginal but the rears were in surprisingly good shape. The car ride now feels plush and expensive versus teeth gritting, change rattling jarring over every crack in the road, like an old VW. Feel is very firm on turn entry and flat. I am Very happy so far.
FYI when I did the rears I disconnected the control arms at the camber and toe adjustment bolts. Piece of cake. Hardest part was getting the struts into the bearing carrier from all the gold paint on the body of the new strut. I had to loosely reassemble then jacked the carrier up onto the strut. I did it over 2 days about 5 hours each end. I will say that's a lot of work to just change 4 struts.
