Just installed the adjustable LCAs and Panhard bar. About 2 hours total to do. the only ride difference I can notice is going over say a rough spot with just one rear wheel it feels real hard almost like I have no shock. I cant wait to try these at the track this week. The other thing I notice is they are lighter than the stock ones, I would have thought they would be heavier?? Maybe I just misunderstand the physics here.

They're made of chromoly steel which is much stronger than stamped steel. This enables them to make the parts lighter in turn reducing unsprung weight.

Didnt put them on a scale but it almost felt like half the weight if not more.
