 I have the front upper kits. I didn't order the lower rear kits or the extra kits for the rear upper bushings. I didn't even install my new front uppers yet. I'm not too pleased with how the ride harshness turned out after doing my front sway bar to frame mounting bushings in poly, and the poly end link kits. Also, I remember Ron ( our President ) had his OE upper shock bushings replaced with poly bushings and there was a "seating" issue. The thread maybe here or over at CF in the Z section. He lost an actuator gear(?) due to the poly bushings not being "compliant" enough upon initial install. I guess the "crush rate" is different than the rubber OE bushings when you T/Q down the top retaining nut and the bushings didn't flatten out enough and caused the gear to end up too high. It took a bit of driving ( as I understand the situation ) before the gear quit. The bushings had to deform a bit from use(?) although I'm not 100% on the whole story. That's why I never did mine!

Yeah. I remember that post.
I guess I will disassemble and reassess what will be replaced.
When I talked to the DRM sales guy I was told poly was the only version they had.
