Default Impressive change with Hotchkis TVS

I`m impressed with this setup. Cosmetically not much has changed (unless you are under the car), but the feel from the driver`s seat is much different. I have my sways set to 2nd stiffest (out of 4) in front, and softest (of 3) in back. The car is far more neutral than stock, which imparts a feeling of more stick. It really feels like there is better rubber on the car due to the improved balance. I do sense a lower center of gravity, which inspires confidence, and the ride quality is similar to stock. The high freq. hwy bounce is most improved.

An excellent, noticeable mod for modest $!

I have an 03` Z.
22k. Not a daily driver. Enthusiastic driving, but no track time.
Modest mods.
Stock shocks.
Stock: Rampant understeer on high speed decreasing radius corners.
Now: Minimal understeer to neutral. More stick under all conditions.
