Energy Bushings?
#5
If you go with the entire energy bushing kit, you are going to be in for a rough ride. I have seen a-arms break and other suspension pieces fail due to the almost too firm ride. Some poly bushings are good, just do not go too crazy installing them everywhere.

I personally have Poly mounts for the motor mounts and the tranny mount. Alot of people do not like the vibration that a poly tranny mount transmits through the shifter. The shifter will actually vibrate in your hand. It does provide a much firmer feel though.
The motor mounts are really not that bad. I just put them in there when I did my header install because I heard too many stories of the headers hitting the floor boards under acceleration due to bad motor mounts. Once again, not too bad of a change but it was a change.
Whenever you start replacing suspension rubber bushings with poly, you are going to start realizing a big difference. They will last much longer and will handle better, but are also not as forgiving and put parts through more stress. You trade off one thing for another.
