Pillowballs not for street.
Seriously unless you are setting up your car for track only it would be a better idea to go with a very hard/high durometer urethane bushing rather then a pillowball if you can find/get them rather then a non-compliant pillowball. Since the non-compliance of the pillowballs combined with the bumps, botts dots, and potholes of real world street driving is at the very least gonna put excessive wear on other parts not upgraded to handle the load. To mention nothing of the breakage issues with them...
IMHO, JM2C, YMMV.

Cool mods. Do you have any numbers for comparitive results as opposed to feel? Skidpad? lap times? I'm looking at suspension options for my STi and am trying to figure what's useful vs. flashy.
