Yep that's what I use. Probably rougher ride to work but better performance handling n the track. I had installed all the available daizen bushings and then I put in the Cusco STB early on and it make a great difference. Then with the sway bar upgrades it was even better. In general for better handling around curves you want most of the suspension bushings to be for better performance (higher durometer) than the OEM bushings.

So are you saying that the daizen control arm bushings reduce ride quality? Maybe I should just get OEM since ride quality is my objective? Are there other bushings on the car you would recommend changing?

Harder (higher durometer number) performance bushings will give you a harder ride around town or highway. For performance driving though they will give you better handling and stability. The car OEM was optimized for comfort so you might not want to,change too much in the suspension unless needed and replace with OEM.
