You will definately notice more bumps etc in the road, but suspension performance will be awesome. You do know that you have to burn the old bushings out right? And cut the race with a hack saw. It's not real hard, just time consuming.

I've used Energy bushings for the front control arm, end link and sway bar mounts. Everything was drop in except the front control arm bushing. I don't know if it was typical but it took a 12 ton press and an air hammer to get the old ones out. Love the ride improvement though, much firmer and more responsive.
I was unaware that rear bushings were available. I'd been led to believe that you'd have to replace the whole beam and link assembly. Do you have the part #s for the trailing arm and link bushings???

Cheers!

with Sprints you WILL need Eibach camber bolts to get the car into the correct alignment. Let the suspension settle in for a week or two before you get it re-aligned.
