So my keft front stock shock bit the dust, and my dealer is replacing it under warranty, however, in the mean time, I need to drive the car (100 miles a day) and its all over without a working shock. So I decided to buy just 1 RS9000 adjustable shock to see how good these really are (seems like people here like them). To my disappointment, the highest setting of 9 I estimate is roughly the same as the stock shock for firmness. I was hoping maybe 5 would be like stock and I could go a lot stiffer if need be. Does anyone else feel the same. Of course this is for the front only and dont know what effect the rear shocks would have. It just seems like you can only adjust down for a softer ride. Plus, the shock is slightly shorter than stock, and it mounts with the boot side at the top.
