Only drops the ride by 25mm, so it hasn't got that "dumped" look that you get with King's, Eibach's or others which usually lower height by 35mm. Ride quality is good, Feel's stiffer than standard but still comfortable, Especially if you have to deal with Melbourne tram track's. And yes, because it's a 25mm drop, it wont cause your shocks to wear prematurely.
