Poly Bushings

I've been eyeing the Hyperflex Poly Bushing kit(suspension) for my GT('90). Does this really make that much difference? I have the motor mounts and trans. mount in already. I put this kit on my '66 F-100 and it is great as the factory bushings were toast. Simple to install on the truck, but what about the Mustang? What else could I do to make this thing have a good ride quality?

LMAO! Better than this stock set up. I do not care about "riding on rails" but I would like it to be "tight" or "firm". It just seems sloppy and I think my stock stuff is showing its age. Its kinda harsh on the bumps and dips. I may make it worse but I think I just need to stiffen things up to get rid of the sloppy-ness of it. I wish to retain the stock height as well.

RE: Poly Bushings

i kno you're asking about bushings but remember that the fox chassis is like a wet noodle right in the middle. a set of good subframe connectors would go a long way to help bring the ride better. bushings would make some improvement yes, but how bout just buying new components that have better bushings in them already? UCA's LCA's.....stuff like that. once again, i realize thats not qutie what ur askin and is starting to veer from the topic but why not just upgrade the component that you're putting the bushing on also

just my opinion

Not straying at all. I've considered this and may do it. I feel some quality parts will be a much better way to go. I've looked at Maxuim Motorsports stuff in catalogs, I just do not want to go to far with my gal. I may start withSubframes and upper and lowersto see the difference a piece at a time. May make for a good test to see what differencethe different components make.

Reading on subframe connectors, welded are the way to go, correct?
