m7 Front control arm

Has anyone purchased, installed and driven a MCS with the m7 front control arms? Their claims of increased stability to the front seem logical. Any actual experience would be welcome before I spend the $700 for them.

I'd get them if I had the cash. I know Mr. M7 himself had a close call doing some canyon driving and clipped the front end due to a stock sway bar droplink failing. A- arm on that side held up and did not bend or break at all, I believe his tire and rim were another story though. You'll save some weight and have better control of your suspension.

One of the nam members, petrich I think, had good things to say about M7's front control arms. There has been some controversy around their plasma booster, but overall they seem to have some fairly decent products.

The only product I didn't care for was their sway bar link arms. They're far too noisy (too much clanking) for every day use and better suited for track or heavily spirited driving. I switched back to the stock link arms and problem solved.
