So I had a chance to rail on it on the way home, there wasn't any traffic, plenty of quick turns, merges, etc.
First impression carries: PLANTED. The ARB's give me a little more leverage in kicking the tail out (dangerous, I know, on snow tires); the dampening and rebound keep the body roll in check.
Pertinent negatives: the rebound rate at speeds above 80mph can be...bouncy. There are a lot of road imperfections in CT and It's def noticeable when traveling fast (I was going between 80-105mph). Now, I didn't notice this at legal highway speeds, so do withit what you will.
Would I spend $2900 in parts+labor to do it again? Probably...is it better than checking off a $1,000 adaptive suspension or $1800 more in the M Package? Unsure, haven't tried either.
Bear in mind, my last performance sedan was a Mitsu Evo VIII - that suspension was STIFF. This is 2 notches below an M3.
