VBP poly control arm bushing review
I got a set of these primarly so I wouldn't have to worry about replacing the stock ones all the time, since I autocross every weekend.
Ride harshness is noticeably worse, but not bad. abrupt bumps on the road are where you really notice it. Really not bad at all though.
Af first there wasn't much noise at all, thats been getting worse though. Every time the control arm moves up or down Im getting some pretty loud sqeuaky sounds.
So, not ideal in that regard. Other than that I am pleased.
You should know before getting these though that the install is a pain in the butt. The techs at MTI working on it were not enjoying themselves. Im glad I didn't try to do it myself, i think I would have killed myself. It is an all day job even for a shop.

also keep in mind you will need to align the car after this.
After the rears, the techs didn't put the camber anywhere near back where it was, and it had visually obvious amounts of toe in.
cars feel really weird with that much toe-in at the rear! hehe
I fixed it by eyeballing it. for now.
