They are mounted directly to the axle but they are laid over roughly 20 degrees. Effectively removing 15%-20% of its tension.

Mary has driven the car as recently as October with the softer springs so maybe she can chime in to how it rides with an unbiased opinion. I am not sure whether they lay theirs over at the same angle to be directly comparable.

I would compare the heavier springs ride quality to a LX/LY SRT8 with Eibach springs. With the lighter springs I would compare it to a stock SRT8.

Anyone local to SoCal is more than welcome to come take a ride in the car and make your own conclusions.
