poly busings are way too stiff for a Honda application. They are only great for the shifter bushings, otherwise they may cause accentuated wear and tear of everything around them. I would use regular OEM bushings, unless your car is a track car. Its just too stiff, especially the trailing arm bushings that don't allow the movement of the actual arm because they are just too rigid.

OEM FTW

I have replaced every suspension bushing in my car with poly ones. It feels fine.
