Default Dogbone Bushings

Hey, i had the Energy Supensions dogbone bushing installed on my car yesterday. it was a biach to put on because they had to be compressed a slight bit witha 20 ton jack in order for the bolt to grip, sicne the bushings are considerably larger than the originals. i was wondering if any1 had installed them and if they noticed any difference. im not sure but i feel a little difference on the gas pedal... just looking for some feedback on what to expect

Ok yea .... i was wondering bout the vibrations at idle or at really low RPMs depending on what gear im in... i was getting a little freaked out.... and yes the shifts are a little better ... well noticebly better... and the car pulls alot better with each gear shift ... no more sloppy delays ... but the vibrations were worrying me... very minor but still u never know

i have had mine for a few months now and they are barely noticable if at all. if you have access to a vag, you can upthe idlea couple 100 rpms and that will get rid of it also.
