Conclusions:

On the street, the most noticeable difference is more grip when cornering. I am able to get a bit more grip from the tires under all cornering situations. Also, when the tires begin to slip/slide/lose traction, they no longer "howl" - they "squeal", which is much nicer. This would indicate to me that there is a larger contact patch on the road and the tire is progressively breaking away rather than rolling over onto the sidewall.

As expected, the poly bushings in the rear have the typical poly bushing "creaking" over road undulations. If you're willing to sacrifice a bit of stiffness in the bushings for complete silence, I'd recommend the rubber rear kit. The creaking gets a bit worse over a week or so. I remedied this by using a needle attachment on the tip of my grease gun and injecting it into the seams around the bushing. Once the grease worked its way around (after several days of driving), the squeaking is almost completely gone.

Needle Attachment on Grease Gun

It appears that it will need to be re-lubed about every 2 months. Ingalls recommends cutting one of the metal set rings on the bushings, removing the bar the slides into the bushing, and greasing it. Since I had already installed the kit, I didn't want to completely remove it to grease the bushing since it may have thrown off my alignment.
