it'd probably be both. they're adjustable. so if you lowered them, it'd be more comfy, and then if you raised them, they'd probably much less comfortable. you can tell by where the adjustment holes are compared to where the mounting brackets are. if there are lower and higher, you can go both ways with the adjustments. if they are where the stock height is and then just upwards, it'll only make it more "racey"

Ditto, but I liked the more aggressive stance of the vortex rear sets

A buddy of mine has a set of gillies on his gsxr and compared to my stocks, they have a more aggressive angle yet more comfortable for my personal preference. So its all about you!

I am currently in the process of attempting to turn my 954 into a semi VFR ! So more aggressive is not really what i am after, i am having a set of Gilles Variobars fitted now, so i will see how they are and then maybe stick with stock. Thanks for all the replies.

Regardless of Peg position. Having adjustable throw(shift) and brake controls is worth it! other than your butt. Hand and foot controls are always in contact with your bike. Having adjustability there is very important.
