EDIT: i've just watched an excellent vid from turner motorsport explaining it. Does seem like a worthwhile inexpensive upgrade.
i was also questioning it before i did it. I went with delrin bushings in the rear...the car felt born again. i had flashbacks of the e46 m3.

i remember the first event i drove after the install...I was like "WHAT!!...how? because of a stupid bushing...OMG..WOW"

it seems so insignificant, but when you drive the car...the surprise never gets old.
I meaaaaaannn if you are replacing subframe bushings you may as well throw the sway bars in since you have to drop the subframe anyway. At that juncture you can use softer springs and shocks to retain SOME comfort.

The coilovers we get overcompensate with dampening because they know that we are much less likely to swap sway bars. So they stiffen up their products to help with the body roll.
