@alxltd1- if you have to reuse your hardware in the kit, make sure you get a torch and heat the metal center hardware of the bushing until the rubber starts smoking/popping. Remove heat and let it sit for about 45 seconds. Then cut lengthwise with a razor blade and the rubber will peel right off.

Just took it out for an extend drive and I love the feel of these bushings. Definitely a little less bump compliance, you can feel rough road a bit, but nothing too extreme or jarring. Very crisp in the corners and handled flat as a pancake. Perfect combo with the C6Z shocks and metal endlinks. I feel more connected with the road and am glad its all over. I cant say if it was 100% worth the effort, too soon to tell.
