Hi GL,
I fitted them 2 weeks ago. They are "right" length and I fitted some extra neoprene bump stops on the axle. The damping of the evo's is fine, it feels as if the car settles immediatly after a bump, not the kick from the back I had before after a bump. And that is at the lowest setting.

Cheers J

ps; I rode the V1000i Convert a few days ago. Lovely, it brought back good memories. And that styling (G5 or cally-T3) Fantastic!!!
