Default UCA & LCAs Installed = WHAT

On Friday, November 2nd I got the Steeda Adjustable Street/Competition UCA installed along with the Steeda LCA's. What should I expect from these upgrades? I should notice less wheel hop/dancing around on the road from a dead stop, but will these control arms help while going around slight curves, like on- and off-ramps from highways?

I just can't drive the car like I WANT TO, because I also got GEARS installed and I have to take it easy, and AVOID WOT for 500 miles. This is going to be damn hard, because WOT is ALL I do when driving my car in dry conditions. I have 450 miles to go, haha. It's SO painful, because tonight a newer BEEMER, some bs 750i,wanted to go at a red light and I couldn't do anything. Then a plain jane NEON, not even an SRT-4,wanted to go.

One positive: My gas mileage is like 16-17 MPG now compared to 13-14 MPG when I drive like hell.

I have good news for you on the gears. It's not the mileage it's the'heat cycles' (heating the gears in normal driving and then letting them cool completely). You need to do that three times and then get on it all you want.

when the dealer installed my gears, drive on them just like I normally do as soon as they were changed. I have no whine at all.
