The B8's in back have cured my car's twerking over big hits. Not really a worn shock thing, it's always done this on the stock fixed shocks, not enough control in bump or rebound.

Back to a nice controlled absorption and rebound over things like mid-corner drain bumps, culvert woops, and the like. Still haven't tried it on the Mother Of All Slow-Motion Sewer Collapses under I-64 downtown, which is where I became a true believer in PimpShocks(tm) but when I do get a chance I'll let y'all know if better.

Ride generally is the same. The disconcerting part is I was unconsciously bracing myself for big bumps and I'm finding they are not big anymore.

Downside - now I'm tempted to get the struts too, but the stock struts are pretty trick pieces and I've never felt like they lacked damping so I'll hold off for now.
