I assume you mean it won't be as capable on the track?? LOL, just kidding..

I'm the fool that had the Leda's.

You have to keep in mind they custom-build them to order every single time, so the results depend on what you tell them to do. The first set they sent me didn't respect the specs I had supplied them (misunderstanding from one of my schematics) so they willingly took them back and whipped up a correct set for me. 2" shortened fully threaded bodies, short-stroke dampers, droop limiters, etc.

Now, that being said, my own setup was for track duty. The dampers squeaked, the springs rattled, there was no clips for brake and ABS lines, no mounting tabs for the front sway bar, etc. I had to supply my own strut bearing and I used tie-wraps for the lines.

I did run it on the street too, but my choices in springs made it impossible to bring the damping down much lower than halfway, which meant the car was riding stiffer than maxed-out Konis all the time. Controlled, but stiff.

At the top of the adjustment range rebound damping becomes so stiff that the wheels stayed tucked in the fenders if I jacked up the car, just like the touring cars you see in BTCC. This also meant that a sharp cutoff on the road (expansion joints on some bridges) would have the car airborne for a fraction of a second, chirping the tires when it landed.. one of the reasons why full damping wasn't doable on the street.. aside from having the car's interior fall apart from the impacts..

Here they are, minutes before the install.
