I have 187k on the original struts and they still don't bounce but my car leans more noticeably in turns than kims. They are in need of replacement but It will have to wait. The car cornered fine at the dragon even with the soft stock ride.

Speaking of no bounce I saw porters car at the dragon this weekend. You can't even do the bounce test - the car does not squat at all when you push on the fender. Greenmarine rode with him to the dragon and I'm sure he'll be posting his impression soon but they both loved the ride.
