Sub-frame connectors and a smoother ride?

I ordered my SFC's the other day and was wondering if they effect the ride at all? Can they make it smoother? I also ordered a the trick-flow elbow and a couple other things Thanks!

Hate to say it, but adding subframes can make your ride more harsh. By tying the front and rear together, you make the frame less resistance to flex, which without subframes, allows the frame to absorb more road shock.

Oh well. I guess if I'm really worried about I'll have to invest in new shocks. I would rather have the sfc's rather than not. Thanks!

I'd say that it's more of a difference in ride quality. It's a little stiffer, but in a good way. The bumps are now one solid thump, instead of a Thump Thump

The car feels more well built, and doesn't feel any more abusive to me.
