I have a set of these in my Crossrunner, they were fitted when I bought it, however I have nothing to compare them too. however I had my 1994 VFR 750 suspension set up by MCT and they changed the front springs from standard (progressive, get tighter coils at one end of the spring) to Ohlins (linear, the same all the way down). MCT said it makes the dive smoother and "linear" whereas the progressive gets stiffer the further the spring compresses. I also had a Whitepower rear shock fitted, the change was amazing, mind you the standard stuff has been on there from new..
