Default Traction bars - Ride quality

Can anyone here with traction bars (JimFib, Z10, Full-Race, etc.) comment on the changes in ride quality, if any?

Is it like putting full urethane bushings on your suspension? Or is it not really that noticeable?

i.e. How will a daily driver handle bumps and potholes after getting one of these heim jointed monsters... ?

JimFab here...
I haven't noticed any negative impact to ride quality.
Helped noticeably with performance but it didn't make the ride any worse.
If anything, eliminating the wheel hop when accelerating has improved the ride under those conditions.

I had wheel hop bad...the JimFab got rid of it.
Instead of hopping, they just break loose and spin.

I have the Jimfab Bars also and i havent really noticed that much of a difference in ride quality. When youre on a really rough raod with potholes everywhere itll feel a little more rough...bot not that bad. And yes, i would highly recommend them. They are one of the best investments ive ever made.
