looks fairly reasonably considering they give you all major bushes

when i bought my superflex bushes nothing was available for the front arms

Someone PLEASE explain to me what gets better, and what difference there is in driving feeling with poly bushes instead of factory rubber ones?

well the idea is you should feel less movement with the harder bushes because they are stiffer and therefore will resist movement moreso than the soft original rubber which is designed for comfort.

the main benefit in my opinion is that unlike rubber polyurethane does not perish (doze) and the kits usually come with stainless steel inserts to prevent the bolts from seizing therefore in theory you can put them in and forget about them.

a simple upgrade if your having to replace bushes anyway
