Default SFCs on - holy #@&%

Ok, I have had my 01 SS Convertible for 8 months and 25k miles. It has been a blast, but not as tight as the vette I had. Today, I just put on some KBDDs. It feels like a totally different car!!! The sway in the turns is almost gone. All of the squeeks, rattles, etc are gone. I hit a hard bump and it did not make a 'bottoming out' sound. When you turn the steering wheel, it just goes in that direction.

If anyone is on the fence, go for it!

I cannot imaging this thing with some good shocks, sway bar, bushings. I am not sure I even need to add them now.
