Default Z10 Radius bars good for street applications too?

Im not planning on being a drag fiend, but wheelhop will undoubtedly be a problem. Do these bars sacrifice anything in the daily driveability area?

They have heim joints instead of bushings which makes them a tad squeaky but nothin major.

Man, that's probably the 5th time tonight that I've said "they have heim joints instead of bushings."

so far one year with no squeeking, and no maintanence. However, I am lowered 1.7" and running 17's and they do rub at full lock...but only on a hill. If the road is flat I can turn my wheel to full lock and no rubbing.

Yes. They rock. Best money I have spent on the suspension.

ABSOULUTELY !!!

front end feels like its one unit on the road ... very streetable and it helps with more traction at that stop light.

Im going to be lowered on Eibacgh pro-kits and running 15" kosei K-1's so I guess I should be clear. Are they difficult to install in 5th gen hatchies?
