ride should be the same... until you bottom out on stuff here and there haha.
camber bushings? djm has new essentrics which help will camber....
they are a piece of cake to install... once you have the control arms out you should be able to see how they go on.. be sure to check all your clearances... tie rods, inner fenders, ect ect.. and lets seee some pictures
