Are full-length subframe connectors THAT good?

Are full-length subframe connectors THAT good?
I had Maximum Motorsports full length sub frames installed when I had my ProCharger installed. I was concerned that I would have all sorts of traction issues with the new setup.
So far, I have had fewer problems with traction than I had when I was N/A and slightly modded. Do the subframes make that big of a difference in traction?
I have been pleasantly surprised with how well my new horsepower hooks up. If I try to break 'em loose it's really easy but when just driving it hard, it sticks. The reason I bring this up is now that I've got almost 1000 miles on the new setup, I'm starting to really get into the throttle and see what it can do. Last night, I took some of my favorite turns like I used to and I had better traction than before the blower and subframes went on! The problem now is that I get thrashed around in the stock seat. I used to break loose in some of these turns but didn't do anything but rocket out of the turn last night with my body wedged up against the door.
I just wanted to know if it was due to the subframes and if anyone else had the same improvement in traction. If it is due to the subframes, I don't know why people don't do those as one of their first mods. Even my wet traction has improved and that's with TC turned off.

Ok then. I realized they would help with handing but I wasn't expecting them to be so helpful in the straight-ahead traction department.
I highly recommend them to anyone with traction issues.
