Hello,

It will not hurt your ride at all. It will stiffen it some but not kill it.

Hope that helps!

I'm putting those on today (UMI adjustable LCAs and bolt-in subframes) so I'll post butt-o-meter results this evening. Stock shocks and springs at 67,000 miles.

As pretty as the parts are though, I almost want to use them for garage decoration instead of hiding them under the car

I noticed a huge increase in harshness when my SFC's were installed. I wanted to take them off, but they were welded, so I just started running softer tires and got used to it. It depends on what type of LCA you use, but the standard type doesn't affect it much - especially if you have rubber bushing on the frame side.
