Hell yeah, i havent really put mine to the test fully since i got the new wheels and tires. But the few sharp turns and twisties i have taken, were sooooo damn fun.

Well i installed the two upper ones last night and i can totally feel a difference. Now for the rear lower one tonight. Just want to know if you had to support the lower control arm when you loosened the bolt? I don't want anything flying out at me when i break it loose. Any hints or tips for that install?

Definately support it. you will have a hell of a time trying to put the bolt back in if you don't.

False, we didnt support it at all and the bolt slid right back in.

I could not get the bolt on mine to slid back in, I had to jack up the arm to get all the holes lined up to get the bolt back in.
