Regarding the shock valving on the HFP struts and shocks ...Hopefully you know what I mean by this....

Can you possibly tell me if you think the compression (think of a wheel going into a pothole) is much stiffer than the OEM units, or do you think the rebound is much stiffer (the wheel "recovering" after hitting a pothole).

From the looks of things, the springs aren't much shorter than stock, therefore the struts and shocks probably aren't much stiffer then the OEM units (nor are the coils themselves very thick also indicating a much stiffer spring)...

I'm asking because I really want to know if these HFP units will serve as a good replacement for my LX shocks (I'd be unable to use the lowering springs due to SCCA Stock class restrictions) until Koni releases something.
