Just did some light Suspension mods

I installed Energy Suspension Front Sway bar and end link bushings.

I also installed Prothane rear Sway bar and end link bushings.

Anyone else do this? Is there any noticable difference in the car.

I haven't driven it yet.

so in other words you put in poly sway bar bushings and endlinks?
It should help out. Some dont like poly tho, you ll understand why when you drive the car.
Should handle better. Especially with body roll

Should help with the body roll, but that's about it. It was one of the first things I did with my car, and it helped a decent amount. Just make sure the endlinks are tight enough and you should be all set.

Poly in the a-arms and trailing arms can be noisy, and they can cause both a rougher ride, as well as eventually bending/damaging the suspension. The Sway-bar links/mounts should be fine though, as long as you put the "lube" on the bushings before you installed them, or greased them after they were installed (depending on which style you got) you shouldn't have any noise issues.

Did the poly thing out back (prothane). Not real noticable to me, but I haven't been doing any corner carving, just know the stock pieces were very worn and in bad shape. Considered a pretty standard upgrade/early mod.
