Default power flex bushings "review"....

Firstly, I am an average driver so anything I say must be taken with that in mind.
I drove the car for 30 (mostly )highway miles and all I can say is " wow". I immediately noticed that the car was tighter even on a straight line. It is very, very responsive to even the smallest of turns. I took a couple of large sweeping freeway curves and the car held the line ( tightly )as long as I did. On tighter turns the car responded almost effortlessly. I don't want to exagerrate this but it is a very noticeable difference. More so than the rear sway bar mod. I now understand what is meant by "neutral". The car immediately goes where I point it when I point it. I have a UUC/Bilstein set-up so the ride has always been a bit rough. I noticed no difference in that. If there is a difference, I was so taken by the improvement in handling, that I paid no attention to it. For the money I would absolutely recommend it.
