I can tell you mine do not bind and neither would the Jay's racing kit. That kit uses those rod ends which I doubt will bind. If anything, going the route I did can cause binding if you do it wrong. Mine went together really easy, and works really good.

Twack has ridden with a couple times and might be able to put his 2 cents in, but I'm on stock rusty springs and shocks, stock sway bars. Poly control arm and sway bar bushings in the front as well. The way it handles is anything but stock DSM.... if I throw the car into the corner, it rotates. Even on snow tires.


:::Kind of a late edit to my post, but I must add that when I aligned my car at school I did not fully follow the factory specs. The factory is tuned with tow in already, and lots of camber from the factory in the rear. I lessened the camber just a hair and actually added a little tow out in the rear. I feel like that contributes to the nice rotation I get as well.
