They'll still be stiffer than stock, though not by a huge amount. ICON's CDCV adjustable reservoirs work in much the same fashion, though the mechanism is slightly different. The most noticeable difference between the two is that the ICONs can add up to 3" of ride height while the Fox coilovers can only add 2". However, from what I've been told, the Fox's offer a bit softer of a street ride versus the ICONs softest setting versus softest setting.
