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

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.

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
UMI sways work great for your type of application:

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.
