Question Rear bushings worth changing?

I just changed all my front bushings with ES polyurethane and am very satisfied with how the car handles. I was wondering if changing the rear bushings with this kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EnergySuspen...item484067392c

would make a difference as well? My car is a 04 w/ 80k miles.

Thanks for any advice.

If the rear bushings have 80,000 miles you will notice a change in the handling, but probably not as great a change as you noticed with the frunt

Coilovers would be the expensive plan for that but would give you full adjustability. Lowering springs are a good cheap option

You're currently running your suspension at 50% (front only) poly. If it made enough of a boost in feel just being 50%.... 100% poly all around is probably better. Plus, poly on your drive wheels will help. A poly bushing kit plus coilovers would be an absolute win in my book. Great mod IMO.

I'm already lowered on Eibach springs and have the hp blue struts. Just thinking of changing the rear bushings..

Do it! Drivetrain movement will be reduced along with suspension movement. Win.
