Default on a scale of 1-10

On a scale from 1-10, how much difference did your different suspension parts make seat of the pants? 1 being "i think i felt a difference but i'm not sure" and 10 being along the lines of new shocks and swaybars together. Looking for stuff like lca's, panhard bar, stb, torque arm.

LG aluminum lower control arms, 8. I could feel the difference jsut backing out of my driveway after I had put em on. The whole rear end just felt a lot stiffer, and plenty of people have ridden in my car and havent noticed that I had rod ended control arms untill I told em. Thats how quiet they are.

I'll agree with that since I'm running the same ones. Mine are quite except one seems to make a 'pop' noise on turns every now and then.
