Default Anyone Try Vansteel Polybushings Kits for C6z

Was buying some brake pads at Van steel and the rep mentioned something anout their poly bushing kits for the C6 (includ the z). He said that they come with some extra sleeve that enables more alignment changes. Anyone try these? I'm tracking 1-2x/ month, but my z is also a DD.

Not to derail this thread, but I've noticed that many of the products that Van Steel offers appear to be very similar, if not the same, as VBP. Are these two companies accociated somehow?

We work close with VBP. We rebuild parts for them and they supply parts to us. We are only 20-30 mintutes away from one another and have been doing business together for 30 yrs. The poly kit is the same one they make.

Not being a very advanced driver and using this car as a DD am I really going to notice a big difference with these bushings or their whole leaf spring sway bar kit? I know what Paul would say, but I need some feedback from guys like me w/ mostly stock cars (just tires/pads/exhaust/brake fluid)

When I first did them I remember rolling on to the front straight at Pocono North course and just feeling more confident and precise.
