First impressions just from installing the fronts and with no front sway bar... Very OEM like ride quality. They do make a "woosh" noise over bigger bumps (like speed bumps) which was unexpected. Nothing bad to report, super easy install too.

im going to see how far I get with stock end links. If they they are stuck ill get some whiteline ones.
