Have to agree Richard. There is one thing I did notice though, on a well luribcated and serviced Quaife rack the whole driving experience is very much improved but as our pot holed roads become even worse than we could possibly have believed they would you do get more kick back at the wheel. Whether or not an external damper would help with this I don't know and I'm not intending to try. I changed my wheel from the wood rim to the leather option and find this to be one of the best driver improvements I have made!
