I did too, as well as #9 (with F30 bushings in place of F80 bushings which are narrower)

Check my post in this thread :

and see how far ahead the wheel went in the wheel pit (last pic)

(edit)
Note that
- I have not hear anyone else complain of this stability issue.
- However the very day I removed these F80 LCAs and switched back to OEM F30 LCAs the stability issues were gone.

So there's all the evidence I need to trace the issue to these F8x control arms, but I can't explain why I would be alone with this issue. It could be that I am more sensitive, but tbh the stability issue I had was a real safety issue where the car would swerve by about 1m left or right under wind gusts, e.g. crossing a bridge (sudden wind change) or just slightly stormy weather (sudden gusts), or overtaking a truck (massive aspiration).
