actually it feels fine...I haven't notice anything different between handling. Just a little bit bumpier
I had these springs on my 04 wrx and actually I think the handling was better when they were put on, less body roll and weight distrubution was smoothed out!

Not that they will kill your car or struts, just that they are more of a cosmetic mod than performance mod. I think there are a few members on here who have them and are happy with them...
