Default suspension bushes

i have a totally standard vtr, would it make much difference replacing all suspension bushes front and rear with poly bushes on standard suspension components? im basically looking to stiffen everything up, the car feels a bit sloppy if u know what i mean, not solid like a brand new car.

i know most people tend to lower their cars and add the poly bushes but has anybody actually done this?

Poly bushes are a good foundation to start mate if you plan on going for a decent damper/ spring set up later on.

I would highly recommend doing a poly bush conversion tbh......makes everything nice and firm.

I did exactly this at first and the main difference you can make with them is the wishbone mounts and the rear axle mounts. Tightened the car up a fair amount but as said, you won't feel much difference if you are running on tired old suspension components.
