Also remember what you'll be giving up. Since you can never get something for free. The better links also create transmit more NVH so it's always a trade.

IDK, I imagine it wouldn't be much but for someone who was a complainer about comfort like I am, I'd be bitchin like a little Suzy.

I also just switched to Solid motor mounts so be ready to hear me whine, lol

^ Agreed

I think that when one goes to aftermarket arms with poly/poly, you will get a lot more noise anyway. Going to poly/spherical is probably not that much worse.

My car has spherical joints on one end of each LCA, pan-hard bar, a total of 8 on front upper/lower "A" arms and 4 on front sway bar. I have only 3 poly bushings and you want to "hear" a car on a bad stretch of road... take a ride in The VIXN sometime. On the other hand, a nice smooth road, it is just fine.

Like lilc says..... it is a trade-off. I wouldn't trade my cars handling ability for any car on this or any other Mustang forum.
