I couldn't believe the difference in handling my car had after installing them. Especially the front.

I bought a "kit" from Summit Racing that had the sway bar and end link bushings when I did my suspension.

Yeah, I've got to look for some rear end link bushings for my 89. As I was pulling the halfshaft and disconnected the end link from the knuckle. And then swung the end link out of the way and that cracked the bushing. I see Autozone has some stock style for the rear with the inner and outer sleeve, but they want $25. Haha, I figured I'd look at something else.

But there are different makers of the urethane bushings. Most known would probably be Energy Suspension. There also is Prothane. Lots of debate at which is better.
I believe there is another company making bushings that is something different than urethane that doesn't need grease.

I got tighter handling, but not a rougher ride. Just did mine recently, (all except front control arms), and so far I love the difference it made.

I do care a lot about racetrack performance, but also drive my car on the street.
Id hate to lose all of my ride compliance.
If I hit a small pothole, I dont want to bend a control arm or something.
