Jimmy, poly can even be felt during straight line, during daily driving conditions, too.

bouncy? and you think that changing back to mushier bushings is going to help? Bounciness is generally caused by either your shocks being worn out or crappy rubber thats so soft it doesnt dampen correctly. Just for the sway bar bushings you probably shouldnt notice a difference.

No, not stiffer, they transmit more vibrations from the road to the chassis. Harsher may be a better term. So would 'more responsive' and twitchy.

Bounciness and stiffness would be symptoms of to high a spring rate, or the dampers(shocks) to stiff.

Cheers,
Roy

I didnt notice anything. Good or bad. I have the full ES bushing kit installed.
