Decent... worth the money. Next time, I'll be going with something more performance oriented, though.

is the ride comfort of the premiums (not handling) better than the excel g? I have the excel g on the front about 8 months now and find they a lil stiff for them bumps on the roads.

^^^I had the premiums on the front of the galant and though i was scared that the oil wouldn't be able to handle the weight of the front but it did and yes the ride for the front was more supple....... I kept the back gas for cornering purposes...

I kept the back gas for cornering purposes...

faster and stiffer damping so therefore a more responsive suspension....
also helps to maintain stiffness on cornering.....

original_lollybob, what *KRONIK*, said.......... altec, I put the oil in front just to see if the front would ride any different because I thought, like you, that the front was a bit bumpy with the excel g compared to the ride with the original...........so i tried the premium and it was a bit softer........
