From what I was told >>

well i got the stage 1 subframe connectors installed today. I think its nice and all but i havent seen the night and day difference alot of people were claiming. Car seems to be smoother over small bumps but large bumps still feel like large bumps. Car does seem more planted and handles better. Its definetely worth the $170 or whatever the price is tho.
The largest difference does come when you install the Stage 1. The reason why large bumps still feel like large bumps is that the SFCs are not designed to dampen loads at each tire. All it's supposed to do is stiffen the chassis, primarily against torsional loads when cornering hard.

Actually, that is incorrect. The chassis is in fact designed to fold up like an accordion when traveling over large bumps, then unfold itself back afterwards.

Sheesh. Shows everyone how much you know.

Uh...are you being sarcastic? SFCs are supposed to stiffen the chassis...prevent axial and torsional bending. I'm pretty sure I'm right.
