I just got my OME shocks (from Independent4X) in yesterday. I'll post on ride quality after I install them. Hope to get it out of the body shop today & into the alignment shop before the end of the week. Fortunately/Unfortunately I won't be able to get them on this weekend since I have to run to Philly to visit my new nephew (born a week ago). But at least it'll give me a chance to test drive the Proton with the new ball joints & stuff before the shocks go on so that I can tell if there are any improvements in ride quality (yah, the ball joints were THAT bad).
