I replaced the completely worn out strut bushings in my 2005 Legacy GT with these. There's a lot less freeway sway now and no added NVH, but I didn't notice much of a difference in steering feel to be completely honest. Maybe a little more responsiveness when driving hard, but not as much as I would personally like. Still nothing like the old Honda or Porsche. However, given their relatively easy installation, you should go for them when replacing worn OEMs.
