Default Would you guys recommend polyurathane bushings for a daily driver?

My suspension setup on an eg 4dr:

DC2 H&R Race springs
Koni yellow shock set to mildest stiffness
ITR front strutbar
GSR rear swaybar
Neuspeed rear tower bar

Now I take this car to work everyday and the ride is pretty aggressive,does polyurathane bushings make a significant difference in handling enough to sacrifice the ride a little more,or should I just stick with my stock bushings?

Thanks and no hatin please

ride didnt get more harsh with the bushings just firmer.
the car feels so much better tho with the new poly bushings in there cut alot of wheel hop too.
my car was over 12 years old so it needed some new bushings

After install car actually rides alot better over bumps, but expect some downtime while doing this. You will prolly break a few bolts if you suspension is rusted, plus it'a bitch to press those sleeves out, and rear suspesion isn't the easiest thing to put back together.
