They will stiffen everything up a lot. They are much less forgiving than rubber bushings. But they will never wear out.

I chose to stay with rubber bushings upfront but by the time I'm done all the rear-end stuff will have poly bushings.

I will be getting the PST poly kit for my third gen. It has greasable fittings. I under stand as long as you get the proper lube to lube the poly's during installation, and lube teh fittings whenever you do an oil change, the "squek" shouldn't be a problem.

The energy suspension kit just doesn't seem complete to me.

I wouldn't recommend poly control arm bushings unless you want binding problems. Use delrin or Del-A-Lum bushings if possible.
