These really are a must to replace the old worn out originals or the terrible aftermarket URO's

How are these replaced? Do you have to drill out rivets, etc?

Yes, drill out the rivets and re-rivet, rivets are suppled.

I installed mine. Very straight forward to install (after buying a rivet gun which I had somehow lost).

Unfortunately I can't comment on how they "feel" if installed with stock springs and shocks since I'm using coilovers, but very high quality, fast shipping, straighforward contact with seller.

Coventry Cars in San Diego has done 20 or more cars so far, and the owners are claiming "No loss of ride quality". So, good to know!

I made a couple of handle extensions to my rivet gun using any old pieces of tube lying around, zip tied in place, makes all the difference rivetting!

How do I get my hands on your mouse for my front shocks, I have a 2001 XK8 and I'm replacing the old foam shock mounts with something new. And I've come across your product but I don't know how to buy it can you direct me please
