I've had my SP shocks for about 2 yrs now, happy with them.
Ride: They are alittle soft, but were a great upgrade over my very soft DJM shocks I had on previously and better then stocks. But softer then the Doetsch Tech nitro slammers and Bilsteins I've had on before. They are very nice riding shocks tho, and did help the suspensions ride performance and feel. Still stiff enough to take corners at a good click and hit bumps without alot of side to side or bounce, but soft enough to not jar you over speed bumps.
Quality: good. No issues with fit or finish. Have held up nicely, no issues.
Problems: They have gotten alittle spongy recently, but not bad. I mostly notice at highway speeds over dips and going cross/sideways over dips/water gullies on streets it does alittle back n forth. But not bad, super soft or unsafe, just alittle but more bounce then before. It just recently started getting worse, but hoping to get alittle more life out of them. But all in all, no real complaints, and would definitely get them again. But may go back to Bilstein or Doetsch Tech. I like alittle stiffer suspension personally, but the SP shocks are a great improvement over stock for sure.
Price: is what it is. Cheaper stuff out there, but cheaper stuff out there. If u know what I mean.
Summary: I would recommend them and purchase again. Good, quality shocks at a decent price. Alittle on the softer side compared to some others,all in preference, but not bad, and feel good. Soft over bumps, good dampening and stiff enough not to porpoise or dip on hard braking or turns. Mine seem to be getting alittle spongy after 2 yrs, but not blown.
But shocks are only as good as the suspension setup there on, IMO. Shocks are meant to control spring and suspension movement. So having the right size, length, valved shocks, especially being lowered, coupled with a properly setup suspension is all crucial to making the ride enjoyable not annoying.. My .02¢ and suspension feel is subjective from person to person
