Can't see them being bad at all, but is there anything wrong with your existing OEM dampers?

These are OEM spec replacements, not uprated at all.

oem shocks are very reliable but if you want to go for a bit of an upgrade with the same durability then try and pick up some konis if you can - there are normally a few used sets kicking about and you can change the perch height (only when off the car and diassembled) and you can change the rebound stiffness in a few seconds once they are fitted.
