You do feel the road a lot more. For better and for worse. It provides my with what I want and thats a sportier feel in the car. No extra noise. I think its worth doing. Under $200 for front and rear control arm bushing and daizen steering rack busings. Best money spent to improve handling.

Also in addition... Polyurethane only squeaks when they are not properly lubed. The lubricant does not (or at least I feel this way) disapear significantly over time. Yes it will slowly go away, but the stuff that is provided is almost like glue. It is the most sticky crap ever, but it properly lubes the bushings and will stay there for an extended amount of time. Some people install Zerk fittings to grease the bushings yearly or whatever. Prothane bushings have slits cut into them, so grease fittings would work very well on any of the 2 piece bushings (grease slides through the 2 sections into the slits). This idea will not work on the front lower arms (of all things for this idea NOT to work on...) since it is just a 1 piece bushing.
The steering rack bushings dont need to be greased (even daizen says so) since they are not supposed to move, but safer than sorry.

Does Prothane or Daizen provide the lubricant or do you get it from somewhere else? If not provided, where can we get it?
