as you can see, the old shocks are staying in whatever place i leave it at...

it does eventually come back.. eventually.
anyway, replace both sides, and they were both bad.
then went for a test drive.
can hardly feel the difference on normal roads, but there's a local round-about where it's bumpy continuously, and there, i can see the better damping keeping my rear end more planted. hmm.
anyway, money well spent.
