Bumps and road irregularities no longer agitate the car, the suspension now absorbs those without transmitting them to the car and the cars manners while on poor roads is that of a true modern sports car. While this may seem counterintuitive to what you would think with solid bushings installed but the bushings allow the suspension to do what it was originally designed to do before the NVH engineers lowered the bushing durometer to that of a marshmallow. While there is a small increase in road noise transmitted to the car, it is not even noticeable when a loud exhaust is present or the stereo is on.

It is akin to the amount of noise increase going from the stock shifter to an aftermarket unit without the use of sound deadening materials. I have been flogging this suspension for weeks now and have yet to find a single flaw. In my opinion this is a must mod for any IRS equipped mustang owner who is serious about their vehicle's performance.
