Yea I have Dobi springs in mine, they're alrite, I haven't compared them to anything else though (in the VL), not overly bumpy but not sloppy either, comfortable to drive and handles ok. Thats with KYB shocks all round (I had monroe shocks before and they weren't that great at all). Would benefit alot though with adjustable strut tops and a fatter front swaybar. And the front shocks could be a little bit stiffer esp in the bump dampening.

Only young too!!! So what does that mean for the Walkinshaw brand on new commodores now?? Hopefully they keep it going as they turn out some pretty spiffy looking machines - but I would say that...!!
