Its definitely firmer, the ride is not great if you are running empty, T32 need some weight in the back to keep them settled
We generally run with little to nothing in the back, normally the odd mountain bike and small bits and im not really happy with it, not dissatisfied enough to go back to stock but think i will put B14s on it at some point before we do any big trips/go abroad next year.
Its a tricky one as i found the standard suspension to wallowy in the corners and didnt like it but find the springs (when empty) to much the other way and bounce off of speed bumps and potholes etc, i think the facts are if you dont want to spend big bucks on coilovers then its a compromise one way or the other !
