Has the ride changed dramatically?

I will be doing an alignment once the X is lowered.

Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

I did this same lowering kit, along with a four-wheel strut and shock refresh at the same time, used Bilstein Touring Class (not HD). My starting point was factory sport suspension, 18 inch OEM wheels, at about 100k miles.

Ride has changed dramatically, entirely for the better. Tauter, better controlled, no additional harshness in the ride. And the roads here are not very good.

So I'd be a big thumbs up - but I really can't isolate the incremental impact of the new springs, the new shocks, or just the fact that the pieces are fresh.
