I haven't bought them, but here is what I've learned from reading (re: search)

Pros:
decent price
Decent ride (a little harder than OEM)
readily available

Cons:
Need to grease every so often because they will eventually squeak and this can be annoying.

here we go again....

fyi: The stiffer ride is because they are polyurethane and meant for handling increase.

Bezeeduzit, please do a search and read all the threads that you can. I'm too tired to argue about bushings anymore

But Jeremy basically said all you need to know, and Sini as well...

If you've already bought them then isn't it a little too late to gather opinions?

i am in NY.
I have front and rear control arm Daizen bushings.
They are great stuff.
I like them over stocks because they do give you firmer ride. Out of the factory the SC400's ride quality is too soft to take aggressive corners.

I bought the front control arm bushings... and i was so impressed with them i went and bought everything that Daize makes for the SC400..... and they all improve the way the car behaves without compromising comfort at all.

call me up and you can take my car for a ride. you will like them.

as for the squeeks I really haven't had any problems. During the winter i thought i hear some but after 20k miles i can't hear these squeeks that everyone is talking about.

I got some minor squeaks, but nothing I can't live with: the handling is great!
