Default I helped a friend install one a couple months ago.

It seemed like a well made product. It is pretty straight forward to install. They provide good instructions on how to get the sleeve over the shock body. Everything else is just like any other suspension installation.

Our initial guess at height was way off, so we had to do a lot of adjustment while already on the car. The acme screw threads make this extremely easy compared to the typical unified screw thread that most suspensions use. A lot less turning for the same amount of movement (make sure they send you one of each of the spanner wrenches though we got two of the large ones, and the small locking ring was a pain in the *** to loosen with it). Other word of advice is to apply some lubrication to the threads on the sleeve (we used anti-sieze) otherwise I think you might have some galling issues when turning the rings under load.
