#1 upgrade for me, ESPECIALLY for the EVOs. buy a set and see for yourself. if you drive your car at all, you'll be glad you did!!

yes bearings stablizes the car ALOT, the wheels dont wobble nearly as much.

they really do stablise your car and reduce friction and if you have plastic knuckles they will wear out faster...
