I've searched already. some people say the kazama is really harsh and some people say it isnt. My 98 is a daily driver and I'm not to hardcore into drifting so would it be better for getting stocks or should i cough up couple of more bucks to get the kazama's.thanks

T/C rods shouldn't significantly affect ride quality unless you are super super super sensitive. They should make your steering more responsive by eliminating slop. I have ridden in an S13 w/ all pillow ball joints everywhere, and JIC FLT A2's, and the ride felt far superior to my shock/spring/stock arms S14.

I mean im not sensitive or anything but the roads out here are pretty much shitty.I would like to know if it'll be noticeably rough or I wont even tell. My bushings ar cracked right now .

If your bushings are cracked, then the upgrade arms will make your car feel many times better.

So why do some people say it is really harsh for daily driving

Because they have solid pillow ball ends that transmit more vibration than a rubber bushing would.
