Also, is there any more feedback by the first 10 people that got the KARS kit before I send my cash in for mine?

1) Handling: Same or can't tell the difference.
2) Noise from the rear: No/Yes, it depends on the road. I live in MI where the roads suck, black top: no noise, concrete w/o grooves: no/very little noise, concrete w/ grooves: noisy,but toleratable. Keep in mind that you are tying in the rear craddle to the frame/body, so your floor boards will act like a tuning fork so your interior will act like a speaker woofer on certain roads when it hits a certain freq. but like I said its only on grooved roads for me. If you have a problem with noise in the interior, you can always add dynamat. In my case, it was not bad enough for me to add it yet (maybe once I add the poly motor/trans mounts from Lindsey).
3) Is it worth buying: IMO, Yes. I don't have to worry about wheel hop and blowing the diff (from wheel hop). Before, I had very bad wheel hop, I couldn't launch the car in 1st gear. I even had wheel hop when I chirp 2nd and 3rd gear.
The KARS mod is well worth it to me. I have better video, but Youtube only takes 1mb videos.
