Yep, more than happy, I have them set soft for round town and harden them up to play boy racer, bit hard at 58 Yr old hehe.
Mine have black springs and chrome bodies.
$650Aus good value and rebuildable to boot, Progressives aren't rebuildable

they are worth every penny. I have 12.5's. Handling in corners is much improved also. I have mine set in the middle for preload and #2 dampening

Just order for a Rocket. You have a choice of chrome or black combos too.
