less frame flexxing, especially around curves ... more accurate steering ... more confidence while turning ... it is pretty noticeable, but not everyone notices it ...

I've got a vert but I noticed a huge difference, that was before suspension too. One of the best parts I've done.

Damn right you will!!!! Best bang for the buck out there.

I did upper/lower cntrl arms as well as subs all in one shot and let me tell you,,I felt a whole lot more confident when the tail got happy. It made the car more fun to drive. You will actually (depending on how good you are or aren't) be able to pitch the rear end out and put it where you want and control it a whole lot better w/the throttle.

I wish subs had been the first mod I had done!

As said above, you'll notice better steering response and control in cornering. Go find your favorite curve and try it again with subs on. You should notice a difference.

For me, I noticed better control in turns and the car felt tighter overall. Given the age of our cars and the fact that I've got over 156,000 miles, it is nice that my car has no squeaks, rattles, or other odd noises due to age. There are many cars at my work that are the same age and newer than mine that squeak really bad.

With the setup and power you're making (from your sig), subs will save your car in the long run. You've got several suspension upgrades, so you may notice an even bigger difference with the new subs (then again, maybe not quite as much).

Let us know what you think.

Definatly won't feel much if anything, but your mind will make you think you felt a big difference

Smart mod though.

Ok well it seems that even if i dont feel a big difference it is for the best to get it done. I dont really do much turn racing but i do plan on at least a pan hard bar and possible coil overs added to the mix in a year or two. So im sure this will help.

I'm just hoping they'll at least diminish the creaks and rattles in my 'vert. Any added cornering stability will be a bonus.

They will make you realize how crappy the suspension is...since your car will no longer be part of it.

No but seriously there really nice, you may have squeaks and rattles dissapear because of them.

Also, I can jack up 3 cprners of the car and the 4th corner will come up on its own...instead of the car sagging.

...and it won't be in your head, but again, I have a vert which may have amplified the difference I felt before & after?

dunno, but I'd never say it DIDNT help after spending the $$$!!

I have a vert and mine felt tight to begin with. But it defenitely does not sag or squeak or anything. I have a good solid one. Maybe made on a Wednesday.
