Woofa, I agree that the shockers sold by the vendors are too hard. I have them on a couple of cars. One is not too bad, the other, terrible. The first car I fitted telescopic shockers on was at the rear of my Phaeton. I bought a pair of shockers meant for a Falcon Station Wagon, made my own mounts and mounted them at an angle to soften the ride some more. It works very well, in fact that is the car we do our outback miles in. About 50,000 miles on them now and they are still the best ones I have. I think the vendors need to have a look at this. It might only take a change in the design of the mounts to make them better. If I can figure it out and get it right first time, I'm sure they could make improvements if they put their minds to it but I'm not holding my breath.
