What an improvement ! Drove like a modern European touring car (I've got an Audi A4 sport).
Took it down my usual country road with a lot of dips and bumps that with the GR-2's would top out the suspension and with the GAS-A JUSTS nothing.
Cooked an on ramp to the highway at a much faster speed than I would have before and she tracked beautifully with a lot more confidence. When I turned the wheel the car turned instantly.
For less than $40 a shock at Summit it was probably the best money I've spent on my Spyder.

Shock PN: KG5450 ($36.28 @ Summit)
Tie Bar mod: Have to take about 0.300" off from the total width (0.150" each side) and then deepen the bolts slots accordingly (use a Monza shock as a pattern). I used a file and it took me an hour to do both shocks.
