Default poly bushings for EG front upper control arms?

am looking for feedback on using poly bushings for the front upper control arms on an EG. do these make a difference you can feel? or is squeaking the only thing they're good for?

What is the car being used for, and do you understand the function of using PU for bushings?

daily driven with occasional autox. i am familiar with the function of poly in bushings, as well as its disadvantages. what i'm asking is will these upper arm bushings( by themselves) make a difference that i can feel? or is their effect on handling very subtle?

In that case I don't think you should switch to polyurethane bushings. You will feel the difference in a harsher ride, and a lighter wallet. Is that worth it in a car that is daily driven and may or may not see auto-x duty in a year?
