I've had mine for a week now (med/med setting) and I noticed a huge difference when corning aggressively. Car feels like it is stuck to the road, more neutral feeling in fast turns. Great mod for small price.

The Stillen bars are a bit bigger than stock but these bushing still work no problem.
You can't use your stock bushings?

I have mine also set at med/med. What a great mod at a very affordable price.

Yes, you acn use the stock bushings. I inquired with Stillen about getting polyurethane bushings and they said it is not neccesary. The stock bushings work fine.

The stock bushings work perfectly, don't let anyone tell you differently.

work)

the bolt and nuts are tight. the joint is where the rattling is coming
from due to premature wear.

My set up is currently at front: soft / rear: hard

the fronts endlinks seem to be holding up well.
