The ride is similar to stock. Many here have had them or currently have them. I wasn't aware that they were available anymore.

They are a linear (non-progressive-rate) spring, so they actually handle fairly well. Ride quality is about the same as stock SE springs.

Yes, i've had them.

If you want a cushier ride, go with H&R or Tein H-Tech, but the Maxspeeds are just fine and most people who have had them thought they were decent, especially for the price..

The only downside is that the powdercoating will eventually start chipping/cracking after a while. It's just cosmetic, but still kind of sucks.

I agree with Irish, I'm still using them, the drop is minimal, but the ride is very comfortable. I have them coupled with KYB GR2's. My only complaint is over speed bumps if I don't crawl over them I bottom out, but I've got a feeling that's the GR2's?
