I haven't run them so I can't say. What I will say is I was told by a tuner/builder that poly bushings are just to rigid to handle heavy launches without being spit out. That's why so many people have had problems with UPR and Summit arms. But the more expensive arms like the Maximum Motorsports and the Steedas use a different design. I believe it's a 2 or 3 piece bushing, that's designed to keep your car from chewing up bushings.
Good info, I may upgrade to MMR, the Lakewoods were inexpensive so no big loss. Also I see you are running the Strange 10 ways, that is what I have waiting in my garage, how do you like them?

Look into baseline control arms...im getting a set asap...i run summits now and yep ive torn bushings out left and right
Everyones impression of street and track friendly is differant...mines more geared toward the track but is streetable and i dd it...it doesnt handle like a lowered cae would...or even a stock mustang but it isnt unsafe or unpredictable...like i said i dd it in all weather and dont regret it... i have 90/10s and 50/50s with summit uppers and lowers and fox 4cyl springs...rear is stiff front is loose...it cuts low low 1.6s and feels fine at 100+mph. I also dd on big and littles and dont see a problem. But depending on who u ask this isnt street friendly at all... so its all in the persons opinion
If your not looking to have the best possible launches and traction then throw some control arms on and strange10 ways...ive ran them on my foxbody and liked them...but at the end of the day the 90/10s deffinatly launch better
If you want the best 60ft and traction go with what i did...its inexpensive and works great
