i bought 2 cars in the past that have had them installed and i installed 1 kit on my own car....
the main pro's is that you will get tighter steering and the car will be more responsive around corners...
con's....cant thing of really any

The only con i can think of is ease of install... lots of them fit well but there are a few bushings that are harder to install like the rear lateral link... granted I have never installed them but I see other people asking how the hell do i get these things in the rear lateral bars...

there are a few bushings that can be trouble-some. And it is time consuming. Still worth it though. Just make sure you use PLENTY of the grease. Didn't use enough now the bushings squek every time i turn.

i didnt have any problems with the lateral links on my car...they went in as smooth as could be, however, getting the lateral links off the car was a different story....

and the front control arms.....those bushings took alot to get out....though the easiest way ios to just burn them out with a torch....
