[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16512540, member: 117234"] Do it and you'll never look back. The car will for more planted and poised through the corners and will actually be smoother in some aspects due to the suspension being allowing to actually work and articulate without binding. I haven't the slightest regret. The ONLY NVH I experienced was from the diff at certain RPMs with the radio off. I fixed that per FTBRs recommendations with a little dynamatt right above the diff. From what I have seen the guys that complain about ride harshness with the kit have their cars dumped and have minimal shock travel in the rear to begin with. What was happening before the kit was installed was the rubber bushings were deflecting/compressing when they hit bumps. With delrin installed that movement is now non existent and subsequently the ride is now to harsh. There is less travel in the rear shocks than the front and when you dump the car north of 2 inches all the way around its easy to understand that delrin isn't going to make things better. I have seen pictures of rear shocks that show signs that the bump stops have been compressing as well which further proves my point/observations. With all the above said if you are a more show than go type and have your car slammed/dumped I wouldn't do it. If you have moderate drop and want the car to handle well go for it. [/QUOTE]
