Anyone that has switched from stock to poly bushes on the sway bars can you tell a big diffrence from stock? I thought about converting but don't want to hastle with it if there isn't any real notable difference.
Thanks all.

upgrade your sway bars while your at it. The only other reason to do it would be to get rid of squeaky OEM bushings.

If the bushings are the only change, you won't feel much if any difference (unless your stock bushings are totally worn out). And...you add a maintenance step - poly bushings need to be greased periodically.

I have replaced the stock sway bars on my c-5 with c-6 ZO6 on front and 24 mm on rear. Still not as tight as I would like it. Would poly bushes tighten it up a notable amount?
