They are a good start for someone who doesn't have the money for control arms and such. It would allow the car to handle better obviously. I do know replacing them can be a PITA sometimes. But if you do it let me know. I have been debating on doing it too.

From what I can think of its all the bushings. Getting some new shocks and struts would compliment it nicely. It wouldn't affect the handling but you could also get the poly motor mounts to top it all off since you can get the trans mount in the kit.

Yea, I forgot about that. That is because they have so many different size sway bars.
