I have the premium ride front and rear, although better, they are far from great. I still get the hard Jolt in the front when hitting pavement heaves. I really think the only people that can help give good info need to ride in the same environment you do. If you live up north the roads are much rougher so you need a lot more out of your suspension. People that ride in warm climate areas down south just don't deal with the rough roads that us northerners do. Again, not bad, just not great.
