Installed the Steeda Vertical Link Supports today. They were a tight fit, needed channel locks to press into place. I double-checked the arrows too. Did not take too long.
Question: What should I notice with these Vertical Link Supports? I like the idea that they strengthen the link, but I am uncertain I can feel any difference.

You will not notice any difference. It is just for strengthening.

Agreed, probably nothing. I find it funny how Steeda is twisting the link to somehow prove it is weak but it doesn't undergo those kinds of forces. Look on any older 2020 ST with a s-ton of miles and the vertical links will be pristine...not a lick of deformation.

Actually quite a few people have snapped those vertical links. I had the Steeda inserts then moved to the FenFab billet links.

Got my new wheels mounted today and I'm made up with the difference in look and stance they've given, Touren TR92 22x10.5 32 offset and 305/40's only full set my man could get were in gold so I've had them powder coated in forged charcoal with a satin clear coat

in for rear camber set up Thursday. May lower it a little but seeing how it goes for now as Manitoba roads crap.
