I finally got around to swapping these parts out. My god what a difference!

The car is completely different. I officially have every suspension part swapped out from Steeda, and adding these bearings really completes the kit. It allows for suspension to work at its fullest potential. At the same time I also replaced the tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The grip is absolutely nuts, you can feel the bearings at work when you WOT on it, its doesn't squat as much, it just takes off like a rocket. I had it in first gear at 4500rpm with track mode on, traction off in 50 degree weather and I punched it, and the tires did not even break loose, come second gear just a beautiful tire bark, no squirming or moving all over the place just bite and go! The control these give you is almost as if its automatic there is so much control in the rear. The body roll is greatly reduced as well since the bearing shave no play in them. I also feel the shifts being smoother and more accurate along with slightly better throttle response. These bearings are a pain to swap but man was it worth the upgrade! As far as NVH is concerned and going over bumps, I did not notice any added nvh. The car feels extremely planted and going over bumps feels solid in a better way. I felt as before going over a bump the shock would bounce and so would the bushings, but now you only feel the shock since there is no more play in the rear.

Anyone hesitating to put these on do not wait!!! These are a absolute must upgrade for better traction, handling and completely eliminating wheel hop!!

Thank you Steeda!

Congrats, I just did these as well. I can't say I experienced no NVH, it's quite noticeable, IMO.

I am very happy with the modifications though, worth it.

Lots of talk in this thread about these.

I guess since I have all the other modifications. I didn't really notice anything different from how it was before. If there is a difference, its not something that would bother me considering the performance add on. If you don't mind me asking what are your alignment specs?

Front:
camber: -2.7
toe: 0.0

Rear:
camber: -1.7
toe: 0.10 in on each side I think?

I'll be taking about a half a degree of camber out of front and rear as I'm not using all of the outer edge of the tire.

I'm going to be doing the LCA bearings soon too. Hope I notice a good difference. Subbed for alignment specs.

That's a lot of front camber for the street. On a road course, all for it.

Put the front at like -1.5 for the street.

I do about 10 autocrosses a year, will be doing 6-8 track days (3-4 HPDE weekends) and daily it. Roughly 15k combined miles a year.

I've changed a lot, but feel comfortable dialing back the camber a bit based on tire wear and lack of full outside contact patch (even after an HPDE).
