installed myself in a 98 impreza whose factory struts had completely gone, with a proper alignment the ride is much better. still not floating on air but not all over the road either. OEM springs.

Same review for all the struts:I didn’t understand just how bad my old struts were until I “helped” a buddy put these in all around. Hot damn, it’s like I’m driving on 800ct sheets, I can drink coffee in the car again. I have a relatively old car, and these worked great, just needed a tiny mod for the brake line.
