The fronts with 40 and 2 holes seemed OK off the car (I never tried these shocks) - whilst the rears were never going to work.
I'll give them a go with the 2 holes and 40 all round (I dont have harder) and see what they are like.
The quality of the shocks is great, dont get me wrong - but they are clearly not as racer oriented as the 501X shocks - they just dont have the right pistons at all. The heavier oil I would think would slow the pistons down enough, but still not have enough pack. So to stop the car bottoming out you are running oil that is too heavy and the car wont absorb small bumps as well. That is my thinking on it anyway, what is anyone elses?

If I can get them to fit then the 501X pistons are the ideal solution to make these shocks work really well.
