Ride become more firm and understandable, at last no squacking noise on cold weather.
I bought these as I noticed, when I was replacing a broken rear spring, that the stock originals had rotted badly. Fortunately it's a quick job to replace these on the Fiesta, and they are a very good upgrade. They aren't going to give your Fiesta ST an XJS-quality ride, but the firm ride and thumps over broken surfaces are more muted and informative, rather than clattery and annoying. The rear is definitely livelier, better located and more informative than with the stock originals. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. So why aren't these original equipment fit?
