    vs commodore V6 S2 and a BA XR6T
    would it be worth upgradeing the D bush's for teh sway bars to neoprean or similar? would there be and better handleing?

    i already go the link pin kit, king springs, monro gt sport shocks all new bushes in front, everything neoprene ecept the inner bush on the lower control arms as i was told to leave these genuine for better handling and comfort?? and the D rubbers

    thanks

    Never heard of Neoprean, but I use all Nolathane bushes in my car. I just did my front sway bar D bushes today. Have noticed a difference in the handling etc, mind you my old ones were shot!

    have used urethane replacements on the sway bar d bushes on a quite a few cars, haven't noticed and annoying side effects, handling improved but as above the old bushes were shot, maybe a small amount of noise transferred to the body but was barely noticeable.

    The Nolathane bushes are better in that they are longer lasting bush then genuine. Not to mention half the time a bit cheaper as well.

    nolathane is just a brand name, polyurethane, neoprene is basically the same thing, although different companies do differ slightly in what the mix together to make them.
    Have used whiteline, super pro (fulcrum) and nolathane in the past all have stood up to punishment well.

    I just replaced my entire front end with urethane. Feels good!
