Default Polyurethane shock mounts??

Anybody install these polyurethane shock tower bushings?, http://www.vbandp.com/detail.aspx?ID=903 I was curious if they would disrupt the handling much if they were the only thing I did.

In my opinion I would never put Polyurethane anything on my suspension. I like the way my car rides now, No way I want it to ride any harder, The Poly bushings have a tendency to make a lot of vibration felt..

Honestly Poly urethan is all I use on my cars. Yes they do make the car feel more firm, but I like that over the stock feel. There is a huge difference in the way the car feels, corners. Plus they last along time.

Did mine along with C6 Z06 shocks, Z06 sways with Poly bushing, and Z06 spings. Lowered too.

It is hard for me to say what just the poly shock bushings did. I do know the stock rubber ones were deformed.

Yes my car rides harsh, but when the road is smooth oh man.....
