I have used the Legend kit and about the only thing I was happy with is the reduction in spring rate. The springs rubbed on the top trailing arms, the urethane beam bushings were not adequate for lateral location and the threads on the linking rods cut into my tyres on full lock!
But, braking was much improved as a result of better road holding. This is one of the reasons I am developing my wishbone suspension.
So, a friend of mine has bought the red-9 linking bars with different coil-overs but was not happy with the end locations so he redesigned it to locate better in the trailing arms. This was on a 550 spyder replica which doesn't get much use so he can't give any long term feedback.
I had no problems with the beam top mounts, although my speedster is pretty light at the front end to stresses would be reduced.

PS You obviously haven't been near my car, IRS is no match for the 250bhp in my speedster!
