Just picked it up. Rides incredible! Better than stock. Smooth on the rode/highway and super stable while turning (no body roll). Oh... Did I mention flex?!

I feel the RK coils ride better overall.

They were recommended by my installer at the time I didn't know what I know now about suspension not that I have any regrets I feel they steered me in the right direction with the king shocks and coils. Since the original install I replaced the rear coils since the triple rate came out a year after my install and I wanted to get an inch higher in the rear any ways. And upgraded the arms with synergy stuff.

You will not regret spending the extra cash on those shocks they are truly amazing.
Wait until you start playing with the adjustors and find the way you like.

Awesome stuff! Have you hit any speed bumps? How well does it absorb something like that or a pothole?

I drove it from SoCal to Sacramento to have CloakWorks do the install. I used the speed bumps at the hotel as a gauge. Before install I drove over mult speed bumps at 5, 10,15 mph. And after install I hit same speed bumps at same speed.... Amazing! Barely feel the speed bumps w MC GC.... And solid feel to the ride.
