That stiffer bushing really does help. I drove up Palomares right after the install. You don't notice it much at low speeds, but at moderate and high speeds, the steering has a much more positive (stiffer) feel when you are moving away from center, turning in. I grade my Palomares runs by how many times I hear the car going over the dots, and this was a very low-dot run. :)

Was it a hard install? Do you have any pics?

It was an easy install, all I did was give the car and $55 to Gino's guys. :)

no idea about WRX's but a no go for STi's. I would not be surprised if they are the same though.
