Compression Rod Bushings- "Revised"???

Has anyone tried replacing their bushings with the newer "revised" bushings? I'm trying to decide if I should go with those (if they're reliable enough) or aftermarket.

I think I have them ... I ordered just the bushings in March of this year.

I haven't noticed a huge differecne, but mine weren't torn to begin with, it was just PM. I feel like the steering was a bit sharper. But maybe that was in my head.

If I were you, I'd go energy suspension.

i would go aftermarket if you planing on keeping the car for a while if not then go with OEM.

Probably 2-3 years. By then it will be time to buy a small SUV, and hopefully I won't be living in an area that needs AWD.

You'd be ok on OEMs if you do average miles (like 10-12k/yr).

EDIT: Well, you'd be pushing the lower limit of when they fail. Usually you can get 40-50k on them from what I've read.

I can live with 40-50k on an OEM set as long as they don't make noise. Know of a good place to buy them?
