Better ride with anti-mushrooming plates?

I wondered if anyone noticed an improvement with the ride after installing M7's or Craven Speed anti-mushrooming plates. I have the Koni FSD and rides better but wondered if the plates help a little further.

SRP's= longer suspension travel,huh!

SRP's don't add to length of total suspension travel therefore I wouldn't think you would get a better ride from the addition of SRP's.

I noticed no change when I installed my M7 strut bar. The ride did not get better, the ride did not get worse.

They won't do anything to affect the ride, better or worse.

+1

I figured it sure couldn't hurt & it may well keep the mushrooms away. 40,000 miles & it has & for that I'm grateful.
