This is a tough one because ride feel and quality are definitely a very subjective topic. What I can say is that the car rides similarly to how it did with the stock struts and motorsport springs. I believe that they were a little stiffer than stock, but I haven't driven an SVX with stock suspension in years, so I really can't remember. My SVX with its Ceika coilovers actually rides more smoothly than my Volvo S80, though I have done a lot of suspension work to the S80 as well. I have the dampers set on the softest settings on the ceikas, and when I ordered them, I told the guy that I would like a ride as close to stock as possible.

I think the best way to describe the ride would be "like stock, but tighter." The biggest thing I've noticed is how quiet it is compared to my old suspension. It was really rattly and noisy.
