So, JV, you have the Empire kit as well. I love mine. A game changer, if there ever was one. Were the Ohlins as much of an improvement as the Empire kit was? "On top of" the Empire kit, I mean.
Thank you both very much for your comments!
M3W, now!!!

Yes, the Ohlin's may make an even great difference IMHO.
what a pleasure to drive now with just one finger on the steering wheel.
I couldn't take (almost)both hands off the wheel before because of the wild front end movement along with the original bump steering when going over semi big road bumps and railway tracks.

What Calum said, so much smoother ride so much more compliant on bad surface roads. foat over speed humps instead of crashing into then over and bumping down otherside. I would describe them as sublime!!!!!!! Chassis so much quieter lost some creeks and groans.....
