Default new shocks, big difference

Just put new shocks in my GS400 (stock OEM). Wow, big difference, the car feels much more planted, can feel better power transfer exiting corners, steering wheel is less "active" at highway speed.

Car has 157,000KM (99,000 miles) year 2000. Right now it's sitting about 1.5 inches higher than with the old shocks, I assume it will settle lower in a couple weeks. Definitely recommend replacing shocks sooner than later.
