I am in need of 2 new anti roll bar bushes and a pair of lower arm bushes, My question is this x2.
No.1 Are they worth the extra dosh.
No.2 Am I going to notice a substantial difference before the year 2020.

Poly bushes are purple.......deciding on your choice of shade, this could make them more, or less attractive.......they're also more tactile than the ordinary bushes, and reportedly far far easier to fit....

New rubber anti roll bushes will make a huge difference, and the poly ones will be better still.. and last longer.. but you should change all the anti roll bushes..
Definatly worth fitting the poly steering rack bushes.. that makes a massive improvement..

I've just had a full set of poly bushes fitted by Si at BrickWerks. The van now feels like I am in control, much more responsive and a tighter ride.

only worry with polybushes is they aren't as compliant so you may be stressing the metal bits more and they are the really expensive bits - anti-roll bar links in particular,
I would however recommend the polybushes on the steering rack, much less bounce steer ime
