subframe bushes

Serious question, does the changing of sub frame bushes offer any benefits that are tangible, like better power delivery reducing launch times to 60 and less roll in cornering? What would be the benefit of poly bushes that couldn't say be bettered by a more rigid or an adjustable anti-roll bar? Poly bushes do apparently last longer than OE rubber bushes but with a good many Supra's still running around on their original bushes after 25+ years is that even an issue?

 

You see lots of claims by the manufacturers of its quieter, they lose camber less so the suspension geometry is maintained better in corners, less vibrations, longer life. But, there is never any road or lab data provided by anyone to back up these claims. Hey, they are purple - that means they must be better, and as for the red ones they are only bettered by yellow.

I went from worn oem rubber bushes to fully poly bushed. Mostly strongflex yellow but some superpro purple, the feel and handling of the car is much better, more direct. The ride isn't harsh either which was a pleasant surprise.
