What are the differences? The rear's I've seen the shock dyno's on but the fronts don't have a lot of info out there. I've installed the rear's and they have made a noticeable difference. I can get a set of front basically new for 50$ Just want to know if its a worthwhile upgrade. I dont track just spirited driving on occasion. Car is on BMR Sp080's

Yes it's worth it, especially at that price. Differences on the dyno and car are of a similar magnitude.

Was hoping you would post. Car just flits in the front at speed. Like it has to catch itself. Figured this would cure it as it helped the back a ton.

Damping is very underrated.

Good price, but for the cost of the labor IDK if I would bother for just the PP parts.

The car when going over dips in the hwy feel like the struts on front are bad. When you test for bad shocks you push up and down on the car and if it keeps bouncing it needs new ones. The car feels somewhat close to that not as severe but noticeable.

I'm this close to replacing my PP with Steeda's adjustable (or their coilover on the fronts) but has anyone tried to revalve the PP units?

Most definitely not worth it if it is even a real option.

Where you getting them for $50???
I've got a full set of PP1 assembled struts, rear socks and springs, front and rear sway bars I can sell, all near Houston.
