i got the front and rear bushings. according to people that've driven my car with just the front bushings installed, they said that it didn't feel all that different. however, after i installed the rears, they said that they could feel a difference and that "sloppy shifter feel" was pretty much gone. shifting feels more direct now. i also have the kartboy short shifter. in terms of best bang for the buck modification, this goes on that list.

here's what you do after you do the mod. drive with the upgraded bushings (front and rear) with a shortshifter, then drive a fully stock one. i'm sure you'll notice the difference.
