Dinan Tension Strut Ball Joint for G8X

A fellow forum member posed this question but I thought I'd get a separate thread started. Has anyone replaced their stock bushings with ball joints like the following:

I didn't find any examples of people doing this mod on prior M models let alone the M3/M4 but if this improves steering feel with limited to no downside then it seems compelling.

Is there a noticeable improvement in the steering feel dynamic vs stock? Are there any material downsides such as added NVH post-install?

Seems like Dinan is behind the 8ball with the g8x cars with very few products
