unless your bushings are worn out, the difference would be negligible, unless you were upgrading to a polyurethane or similar replacement.

I just ordered some new ES bushings and sway bar links from amazon this morning. If it helps great if it does nothing oh well it's less then $40. Later on I'll upgrade sway bars but till then this is fine.

Well after putting a few miles on them maybe a slight better handling that I've noticed. For $40 I'm not disappointed in what I got. Like I said later on down the road I'll upgrade sway bars for now I'm very happy how it handles on a 3/6 drop.

I think the only time you would ever notice a difference between stock and poly sway bar bushings is during quick steering transitions. That first instant when the sway bar starts to flex is when the rubber bushing will squish/compress but a poly bushing won't, at least not nearly as much.
