Going in a straight line is ok but I prefer outhandling my opponent and taking my corners fast. I have edelbrock headers and Magnaflow exhaust with the SLP lid. I got me some poly bushings but im waiting and researching because I want to do it all in one shot

Basically you want the strano set.

What poly bushings exactly are you planning to install? Not the LCA's I hope

Thank for that strano tip. Im lookingnot into gettingthe the Bilstein shocks/ eibach springs lowering combo. Yeah its the lower control arm bushings. I think mine are really worn out. My engine doesn't shake but for some reason when I turn or brake at highway speeds, the body rattles a bit. Im thinking its my LEA bushings and if not that then its my sway bar. Maybe its twisted. Idk. What do u guys think.

Yeah I don't know if it's the bushings, but going to poly will only increase noise transfer. Rubber is best for noise dampening.

Another thing is poly will cause your axle to bind.. which is ok if you want the LCAs to act like a swaybar. Generally you want your swaybars to do that job. Only time I think poly rear LCA bushings added to the stock arms would be recommended is if you are drag racing.. where you usually want a real stiff rear swaybar to keep the rear stable on a launch.

I've got some solid moog bushings I've had forever that I want to install this year. They will allow the axle to move freely

Oh ok. We'll when would u recommend using poly bushings. I've heard they perform better and that they take wear and tear really good, but I also heard they make ur car feel stiff. I want smooth. Not too soft not too hard just right.
