Well, thought I'd give a 7 month 3500 mile review of these springs.... I'm still loving them as much as the day I installed them. Great handling & ride. Never harsh or slam on uneven pavement. The ride is very close to the feel of stock SS/TC springs (which I had before these), just a tad firmer. Havent settled or lost composure either. If you're looking for a great alternative to some of the current springs available for our cars, these are a great option!
Here's how my car currently looks with them:

Looks great once again 
on another note on springs or feel comes down to the quality of tire you have as well. Notice a huge difference when i went from some cheap firestone set to some continentals and im sure there is better tires out there but that gave me what i need for my driving habits and road conditions maybe even my ottp springs i had would of ride alot smoother but still not as good as the yyz. roadmagnet springs lot amazing for sure

The Roadmagnets rode just as good with my old Hankook Ventus V12's as they do now with the Dunlop Direzzas ZII. Although, the Direzzas are a much stickier and better handling tire for sure. Love them.

Yeah exactly i mean the ones i had arent that cheap 143 each tire but i know i can get better tires but now that im all moded and stuff i for sure needed to step up on the quality. it has helped out so much def cant blame springs if you dont have good tires on the quality of the ride

Installed new rear jounce bump stops & foam pads. I had to modify the diameter of the hole in the foam pad to fit around the Roadmagnet spring seat, but it worked out nice in the end. The rear is super quiet now. When I first installed springs, my factory jounce foam was all rotted so I just removed it.... All these years it bothered me knowing it was there for a reason, but I couldn't justify purchasing brand new ones. I finally got the bug up my ass to purchase them, and I'm happy I did. All remaining rear spring noise has been eliminated.

So after riding on these for a season what's your final verdict on these staged?
I had SSC springs in my wife's SS/NA and they were supposed to be one of the nicer rides as far as springs go and I wasn't impressed. That deterred me from lowering my TC but the wheel gap is officially killing me.
If your saying they ride like the stock TC springs then seems like the best of both worlds.
