Beware of stiff poly bushes such as SuperPro's... For a road car, even with some track use, the OEM rubber bushes are very difficult to beat - much more compliant and comfortable.
Thanks for the heads up - I had the Superpros in a Gen IV Subaru Liberty wagon a few years ago (in combination with Koni Yellows and Whiteline anti-sway bars) and if there was one criticism I had of the car in that guise it was initial bump shock before the Konis had a chance to absorb the hit - anyone familiar with the join in the road on the Western Freeway just after the Jindalee Bridge heading into town will know what I'm talking about.
That said, in combination with the Fulcrum LCA kit fixing the slightly weird steering weight, that wagon, even if it was only a 2.5i, was capable of covering ground at a very rapid rate, especially in the wet when it was utterly epic. It's down in Byron now in the hands of a Subaru enthusiast now, so it's nice to know it's in the hands of someone who appreciates it.
I'm a little fussy about ride (I'd happily have the C-Class on 17s), particularly initial impact, so OEMs may well be an option.
Might explore this further once the bracing's done. I wonder if a mix of bushings might work well - poly in the steering and sway bar links for control, OEM in the suspension for compliance and comfort. Mmmm...
