I'm in the middle of the front end refurb. Ball joints, tie rods, center link ends, bushings.

The car came with an IPD front bushing kit which are all rubber. I can get poly bushings and will be doing the usual handling mods at a later time. (sways, springs, bilsteins)

So should I track down the poly bushings? I have no idea if you can really feel a difference in handling with bushing composition. If it improves response, I would lean towards it.

Front end is apart so it seems this would be the best time to switch.

Thanks in advance.
