I used Powerflex Black poly bushes everywhere possible and thicker stiffer Moog end links where poly wasn’t an option.

How did that affect ride quality? Any noise/squeaking?

Is it just me?? I can't seem to locate the complete packaged solution. Just individually packaged bushings. I thought I received the whole set for the XJR, for a discounted price...

I purchased my “package” direct from Powerflex. No noise and no squeaks. They made the ride a bit crisper but not harsh. Definitely more sporty and a big improvement for track use. On the street they feel better to me than stock but then I wasn’t a fan of the softer GT ride.

I did not do the work, way too much time and effort for me to tear down 4 corners and 2 sway bars. I had the motorsports division at a main dealer with extensive experience and the proper equipment to complete all of the work including an alignment. I don't recall the exact cost but I believe it was around $600.
