    I'm OCD with that as well. I have very low miles, don't DD it. I have ALL poly in my car and it rides rough, but my DD G8 GT had a little poly in the important areas and rode comfortably. Since I don't DD the GXP, no worries here.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    I still wished I had never put poly strut mounts under my car. I had to because that's all I could get hands on in the time to get the struts on.

    Shocks and springs will change the ride more then bushings. Bushings remove the slop. I had stock shocks and springs for a few weeks when I did my bushings. Still floated around but less slop it seemed.

    bushings do absorb some of the shock - so don't discount some of that give they have.

    They also reduce noise - and that's equally important when it comes to bumps feeling "harsh" or "hard".

    Perfect fit, thanks Greg, everyone.

    Not the place but I'll be selling the SuperPros SPF1590BK.
