On the other hand I've cut the stops in two different VX's now and can tell you that in my "before versus after" experience there is no increase in road noise whatsoever. The only thing I can figure is perhaps you were hearing your suspension travel more, which for some reason is noisy on your VX?
Well, I attribute the noise abatement to the fact that the VX pretty much rides on the spring helpers, once in motion. If you check the phantom view in the JDM brochure you'll see that the spring helper almost barely touches the rest pad when stationary. In motion, everything would have to compress turning the helper into deadening device.
