See much of a difference? I'm not looking for road race handling. I just want to spruce up the old stuff under the car and wondered if they are any help over the stock rubber stuff.

Yes, a very good improvement. I did the complete ES poly setup on both front and rear sway bars, and it was a major improvement in roll control.

Same here it seemed to help out some. It could have been because the factory ones on mine had over 80,000 miles on them though, but it was worth the money.

Anyone know the ES part# for just the grommets, to go on stock endlinks?

Any thoughts on getting the Energy Suspension kit that includes lower control arm bushings and the whole 9 yards? I figure I can weld a box into the stock arms and poly bushing them for a little added strength at the track. I'm all about budget racing.

I did the entire ES "master kit" when my car was about 3 years old. Since then, most of the parts have been replaced with other upgrades - front sway bar deleted, rear swaybar replaced by a Spohn race version, TA replaced with the Spohn, LCA's running rod ends, etc. I think the only ES parts left are the front upper and lower A-arm bushings and the tranny mount.... I would just buy the parts you know you will not be replacing in the future.

You also have to keep in mind that for all-out street handling, the poly bushings can be a detriment in some locations, like the LCA's.

I'm not too worried about street manners. As long as the sway bar bushings make a small improvement I wont worry too much about the poly bushings in the LCAs. I just want it streetable and a little better at the drag strip.

After seeing the difference in hardness of my new poly bushings vs. the rubber stockers I'd have to believe it would make a worthwhile improvement even with the stock bars...
