Well since your puttin on parts for racing, not just daily driving you need to expect some driving change. It should be stiffer & more responsive. You will probably feel more of the road.
It definetly won't feel like its floating down the road. If thats what your after get a caddy.

If you do a search on torque arm, then you'll see that many people are complaining about an increase in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) with crossmember-mounted torque arms. You'll also see posts on the transmission tailshaft breaking with the transmission-mounted torque arms, but there's a relocation kit available from Umi and BMR that will keep that from happening.
Relocation brackets could cause dangerous oversteer, induce brake hop, and cause wheel hop in reverse if you use it more than just to correct your factory LCA angle after lowering. Just do a search for much more info. There's a lot out there.
I don't think there are any issues with SFC's. It's a no-brainer to get them welded by a professional. I mean why would you unbolt bolted SFC's? Just to sell them?! What a hassle.
