none of th epoly bushings i have speak.
i have upper control arm, upper shock, coil spring pad, swaybar end link, sway bar frame

the sway bar fram bushings made the biggest difference and were the cheapest. anyways i would bother switching out to poly. just buy new honda ones. they are designed so much better. only reason i have upper control arm ones is because my caber kit was replacement mounts with them in it already.
