Message I had them on my NA with tokico illuminas and eibachs plus 18" wheels and the ride was crisp turn-in response was nice, no slop...the car's handling simply "felt newer". Those oem bushings were shot though, and I swapped the NA rear swaybar for a TT rear swaybar while I was at it.

As for the TT, the OEM bushings were in excellent condition, I almost stopped myself from doing the install just because the install is one hell of a chore to get the old ones out, plus I went with SPL coilovers and the car already had solid/spherical bearing tension rods, so the ride is much stiffer than the NA ever was.

IMHO the NA was absolutely perfect for a streetcar with that config, maybe there are better springs to match the tokicos but the eibachs were close enough. But my TT feels like it is on rails at the track, and that was more of a priority for me. I doubt 50% of those who read this would be ok with their TT like mine, but the bushings aren't the culprit. If I went back to eibachs/kyb's or something along those lines, I am sure it would be much more compliant.
