Default Net effect of delrin bushings on front only?

All else being the same, what would installing delrin control arm bushings on just the front control arms of a C5 do for autocrossing? Would the car pick up some oversteer? Will the car's steering feel noticeably more precise? I'm just wondering, as I have a set of front control arms lying around. Thanks.

I put poly in the front of mine first before i did the back a few weeks later. Effect should be similar. I didn't autox/track it in that time frame, but I did notice that the car was more precise, and squirmed around less when loaded up. If nothing else it inspired confidence.

I would have thought that having a bit of compliance ( meaning rubber) in the rear wouldn't be a bad thing.

I've been running poly front rubber rear for a while and I like it. The main reason is because I'm too lazy to do the swap out back, but really the steering wheels is where it felt like it needed it the most.
