Ben,
Given the size of the stock bars, there might not be a big difference between new stock bushings and poly. I guessing, given the "marshmellow" durometer of the stock bushings, that there would be a noticeable difference over time (i.e. poly staying in one piece, stock tearing into multiple pieces....). Might be interesting to see what your stock bushings look like at the end of the season (then again, your springs are now so stiff that the sway bars may not be doing anything at all anyway..... )
