Well I got my Competitiong engineering subframe connectors and my Lakewood 90/10 drag shocks on today. The car acts completely opposite of what people say a car with 90/10's will act. The shocks I took off of it were only about a year old, and it used to walk all over the road, but I thought it was just because I have 3 1/2 wheels on the front.
When I put the 90/10's on, the car goes straight down the road at highway speeds, and even at higher speeds. The car is so much more stable.
More importantly, when I stomp it from a stop or from a highway speed, the car seems very stable, and goes where the wheel is pointed, not where ever it wanted to like before. What is odd, is that it has a better ride on rough roads with 90/10's than it did with brand new Gabriels.
The connectors seem to stiffen it up a lot.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my new purchase and my new b-day gift.

sub frame connectors had a huge impact on my old 73 mustang. It just felt more solid and handled much better after that. I think I might have to try those lakewood shocks though.
