Urethane Bushings?

I installed a 17mm TL rear sway bar in my '04 Accord and thought adding urethane bushings intended for the TL would also be a good upgrade.

Others have told me that urethane bushing squeak and require regular lubrication. Also the urethane bushings transmit more vibration to the frame reducing ride quality.

Can you guys offer opinions??

Get 'em. No squeaks, no lubing. Did the whole front end of a '80 Corvette w/ them and it made a real difference in the handling...made it a curve hugger!

I changed out my rubber bushings for poly's when i upgraded my sway bar in the TL. no decrease at all in any ride quality, no squeaks or noise and no reason to use rubber bushings.
