control arm bushings


does anyone have the solid heims on a street car? i am looking into baselines suspension kit with sway bar, but all they offer is the solid bushings. i am wondering if they are to hardcore for the street as far as noise and handling. also does the drag bar cause any handling issues? car does see its share of 1/4 but is driven on street primarily. 474 whp 412 tq. its needs traction. help. thanks

freaking squeaky as hell, we put them on my buddies car and It feels great but it is loud. Looks like you got a fair amount of power though. my opinion, great control terrible noise

I have no experience with that. I do believe though it can't hurt performance on the street or on the track, drag or road race.
