When you put them on the sway bars the ride quality is virtually unchanged but the handling is much improved.

Put some on the carrier ends and camber rods of my 86. Felt like a completly different car. Did not ride rougher either. One of the best things I ever did to it.

I've thought about changing to the urethane but my prvious experience with other cars with urethane bushings made me scared of worsening the already rough ride of my early C4. :smash:

I put eureathane bushings on mine a few months ago. Until a recent road trip, I would have said there is no change in ride quality. However, now this is totally subjective, after about 6 hours on the road we did feel a bit more weary than similar trips. That or age is creeping up faster than ever :eek: .

I changed all of mine, (front and rear) about 3 years ago. Big difference in handling, (much better), ride, (not any difference). They only squeck when it is really cold outside and I go over a speed bump slow. Get the black ones. :)
