Interesting , there is a very real and discernable difference in the way the car handles now , Its hard to say just exactly what but there's definately something there and in a good way.
Yes there is a little more mechanical vibration and a little more noise but not at all obtrusive.
The car is less understerry (is that a word) at higher speeds and at low speeds feels much sharper , the turn in seems more precise.

Was it worth the stress - no. Was it worth the effort - yes

I never said they were any good!
Did say I’d cut loads too
It’s mad when you feel changes after bolting bits on.
One of the biggest changes had to be Uprated front ARB.
You suddenly feel like you’re in a track car as it’s stiffer and more direct steering.
Then the back ARB which is more subtle. But again feels different. If you haven’t done these, it’s a must mod.
There I said that one.
You can quote me there.

If you want to see what mines like to drive you’re very welcome to, as long as you’re insured.
I can’t really remember how normal steering and balance feels.
Mine is so far from normal now.
But in a **** hot hot kinda way.
