Compared them back to back with what?
I've ran the numbers and they don't lie (although they don't tell the whole story.) The AFX will kick the snot out of a stock setup on an A-body. There will be no comparison and that's not an overstatement. EVERYTHING will be improved by a huge amount-- RCH, RC migration, camber gain, bumpsteer. You'll also get more "centering" through the steering wheel and more high speed stability because you'll be running more caster with them.
They will also make a very noticeable difference over a B-body spindle setup in the steering feel & bumpsteer department (since you can't get much worse than that!) As far as being able to really feel the more incremental improvements in RC height and RC migration over a B-body setup that will have to wait for some real driving impressions. The AFX is better in those two departments but I don't know just how much of the improvement will be transmitted up through the steering wheel. My hopes are for steady-state cornering ability equal to or slightly better than my B-body setup without any of the terrible bump steer issues. The AFX has what I want on paper but I don't have any real world feedback for you... yet.
I may be able to give you some real driving impressions in about a month... I'm darn close to pulling the trigger on a set of them within the week. My only worry is if Baer will be able to hook me up with some 2-piece slotted Eradispeeds in time-- they've been mighty slow this year!
