The biggest problem I've seen with the bronze bushing argument is no empirical evidence of their harshness vs. plastic bushings on the same suspension. Every post I read in PPBBS everyone loved the bronze bushings and said they weren't harsh - then went on to describe how they upgraded their tbars to 22mm, put on some big-a$$ sways and Bilstien sports. With all those changes, the car is going to be more harsh than it was, and you can't point to the bushings as the cause one way or the others.

Hopefully when I get time to put my car back together I'll have some better feedback. I went with the bronze and am crossing my fingers that they aren't too bad for the street. The only other change to my suspension are the Bilstiens, but since my old Boges were trashed, some say that the suspension should actually be smoother comparatively. Otherwise, I'm staying with stock t-bars and stock sways - so we'll see.
