Default any difference between poly/rod vs polypoly suspension

im thinking about switching out my spohl poly/poy suspension components with LG poly/rod suspension pieces. i dont race the car in any way, do you guys think there will be a noticeable difference betwee the 2 for me to spend the extra money or should i just keep what i have on the car.

When you free p the rear with rod ends, the car will lose a lot of it's under steer.

So, yes you will feel a difference. And you probably need to adjust your driving style.

Your tire wear will decrease because you aren't sliding the front end as much
