Thumbs up

I just put a set of 90/10's on. It's not as bad as people say it is.

I run 90/10's and 50/50's on my daily driver and I love them.

No Problems!

I've heard of safety problems at highway speeds on bumpy pavement. One of my friends almost lost control of his car because, with some pothole-ridden pavement, the shocks didn't compress enough and the front end because unstable. A lot of the ads also say "Not for highway use".

Will pulling the sway bar be that bad on a daily driver because I was thinking about doing it. Im not much into cornering so that wont be a problem.

No, pulling your swat bar will not be that bad. Like you said you just can't take corners that fast. But the way she'll squat under load is awesome. I havn't had mine on in two years.
