Not a vast difference, though I've only had the car back a few days, and I've not had chance to do any 'spirited' driving in it yet. On the few short b-road journeys I've made so far, I would say the stiffness is more or less the same as the originals.
And it's hard to say how much of any ride improvement can be attributed to the shocks because of all the other suspension work I had done. In that respect, it feels great now though; tight as new again!
