I got a chance to push the car on some twisties. It's AMAZING! Zero oversteer, and zero to minimal corner entry understeer. The grip is insane.
With the stiffer front sway, endlinks, and RE71r's I upgraded all at once, ride quality suffers, but only minimally IMO. The road noise is higher, but I honestly want the car to be louder. I might get an exhaust as my next foreseeable upgrade. Almost all set with all upgrades for CS.
It's about even behavior going left or right in the twists in regards to oversteer, understeer, grip, etc... There are some differences at times, but it might be all in my head, ...or I wonder if it's because I used a helicoil on one bolt hole and replaced a mating bolt. On the helicoil'd hole, I used an OEM bolt. For the bolt that was ruined, I got one from Lowe's.
Regarding the mating bolt got from Lowe's. I'm going to order an OEM bolt sometime today to replace the Lowe's bolt. They are the same thread size, 10 x 1.25, but the OEM bolts feel stronger and the threads on the bolt are deeper. I think adding to some more rigidity.... or simple placebo, lol.
The steering wheel being harder to turn, I mentioned earlier is only noticeable at a dead stop. When moving, turning feels very easy with the wheel only being harder to turn seldom. Maybe it's just something I have to get used to with the stiffer links and me sitting in the driver's seat compressing the left side of the car? I honestly don't know. It's not enough for me to want to go back to OEM links/aftermarket spherical links.
