I was on the fence about this "upgrade" but now I'm sold!

Who remembers when doors used to fly open and people fell out of moving cars?

I installed them a couple months back too. My impression was that you MUST notice the difference during the first drive. After that your brain readjusts and it's too late.

Two things happened today. Last payment cleared and car is payed off! Also found some debris on the road about a mile from work. Almost missed it but it caught the right front tire. Luckily Discount Tire had 2 in stock about a mile from work. After 35 years of driving this is the first time I hit something and destroyed a tire completely. At least the front tires were 90% worn and needed replacement and were going to be replaced in the next couple of months. Now off to a track day tomorrow.
