Default switch back coilovers to OEM shocks/springs

Does anyone here have any experience going from aftermarket coilovers back to OEM shocks/springs. If so, what happened to your times? Impressions?

Did the it right after 1st Auto-x to get legal for b-stock. The difference in roll is very noticable. Fixed it with big front sway bar and koni yellows.

My set up with adjustables was so far off I was 5 seconds slower than stock shock setup. 2001 NASA Northeast C stock champ, with stock setup, to prove it.
Roll is noticably higher stock. By new stock rear shocks, they wear out quickly -they're about $170 a piece from Majestic Honda (on the web) and enjoy the car. Keep the tire size offset.

I've since found out the non remote reservoir aftermarket shocks were too long and the car was bottoming out at the rear.

Interesting. 5 seconds? What coilovers did you have?
