I fitted the SSL front kit many moons ago, and have been very pleased with the results. The only real issue for me is the need to keep adjusting the ride hide to get the optimum setting at regular intervals, say each service.

Last year I fitted the 5L rear and although the ride improvement was not as dramatic as I had hoped , it was an improvement. However the big bonus was a really drastic improvement in the handling. It has sharpened the turn-in, and taken completely tamed the rear end waywardness that is inherent using leaf springs and a powerful engine.

I think the balance between front and rear is really good, and the whole car feels so much better. I am now happy to let my wife drive fast in the wet and I will nod off in passengers seat (on longer journeys!)
