I replaced both front and rears yesterday. Couldn't really see a difference with the rear, but did so in case it was made out of unobtanium. First impression of handling is that it definitely has a sharper initial turn in and maybe less understeer. It could be a placebo effect, but steering also feels tighter, especially at highway speeds. I felt it was a great mod for $500 installed. Now I really want the Dinan control arms.

I'm going to go for the Dinan sways instead. I think the CP sways are 20% stiffer (though I have doubts about the rear ones). The Dinan ones are adjustable with front stiffness increasing 35-53% depending on setting, and rears 39%-72% stiffer depending on setting. Apparently if you increase rear stiffness more than front stiffness, you can create oversteer, whereas the opposite creates understeer.

Retail is front $311, rear $237. Still inexpensive for the improvement. Is your dealer marking these up ridiculously?

No but, that's not including install. Factor in install is another $300, and you're up to an $800 upgrade. Still a good deal IMO. I'm being quoted $1200 all in for the Dinan and am going that route. Will put in the order next week, but hold off on install till my exhaust arrives.

Shouldn't have said installed. My guy charged me $100 for the install.
