Yes, drove the car both ways the same day.  Stiffer ride, taunter over road 
irregularities, better feel in hard cornering (smooth surface), bad on rough 
roads.  Don't drive them bad roads any more so overall the change has been 
positive.

Larry,

did you get the before/after effect, i.e. did you drive the car with
rubber bushes and then shortly after drive it with poly bushes?  I am
always looking for direct comparisons so I don't have to experiemnt as
much myself :-)

Rod, who didn't like the hard bushings, was using nylatron which is
supposed to be harder than poly?  Choices, choices...
