I have it on my car, and although I have not used any other than stock; I have to say not to go with it. When I first put it on it was extremely loud, clunky, & squeaky. After a few days the grease setup in the right places and the squeakiness went away. It took about a week of driving for the mounting plate in the tanny tunnel to seat up.
Now I have a significant amount of vibration in the interior of the car. The console looks like a vibrator at high speeds. I'm real big on keeping the interior quiet which is why I don't like it.
Now on the other hand performance wise, It made a hugh impact for the better. Launching was a whole new experience, and suprisingly, the cornering & overall stiffness of the car was also greatly improved. One thing to consider maybe, I have a curry 9", not a stock 10 bolt axle, Maybe that could affect the vibration.
In hindsight, I would have gone with a torque arm that mounted to the subframes.

The Jegs part is for drag use. It relocates the instant center rearward to get the car to hook (at the possible expense of brake hop when slowing down). I'd think for anything other than a drag only car, you would want something else.

I ran it on my 3rd gen,I liked it. The cons were increase in road noise and I had to relocate my true duals. The pros were the price and The traction, With My slicks on I could not brake torque on dry pavement it would just un load the front suspension and push.
