My shocks are far from their hardest setting Arwyn, barely half way from memory and just right to my mind in the sweet spot where the nodding comes under control and ride improves. I did wonder if the extra articulation from the intially softer springing of the SSL kit made the shocks work harder though. Whatever it shouldn't happen especially after just 23,000 gentle miles

Out of interest did the 4/4 ones crack across the same hole?
