40 mph is not very fast at all. The curve I like to take at 65 mph I 
see other cars and even pickups taking it at maybe 55 mph. Hard to tell 
as I gain on them in the turn, but they are doing significantly more 
than 40 mph. I guess a lot has to do with the radius of the ramp.

Don't kill yourself testing this.  :-)

Their contribution to handling will be even more subtle than the anti-
roll / sway bar.
