Mine installed like a charm. The ride is much better than my stock bars.
I don't feel they ride "hard" at all. The car feels just right for modern driving scenarios (a-hole drivers, avoiding late brake'r KIA's, hitting a turn lane on a yellow light and accelerating through before the police see anything, etc). Front end road feel combined with constant tire contact to the ground is much more apparent. My stock bars felt lazy. I couldn't be happier now.
