If so what are your thoughts on them as far as fitment and quality? How low is your car and did they correct the bump steer?

I installed these along with a new steering rack about a month ago. Quality is good, about what I expected, although I'm waiting to see how they hold up in the long run. Im pretty low, (My lca mounts are about 2" off the ground) but these helped with bump steer tremendously.

This, plus some JIC inner's should work well

Interesting. I wish I would have seen these before purchasing the Megans. They look much shorter. What are the advantages of the stance version over Megans? ( other than the steering angle)

The stock ends are normally curved, the stances are short, and the megans are straight and long --- I think because of that they would be susceptible to bending.

no its just the picture they are showing, the picture is for a nissan. the sc300 ones are long like the megans. Stance kit is a replica/ reincarnation of the supernow super cutter kit like i have.



IMO the JIC inners are a waste of money.
