Polyurethane bushings love'em or hat'em!

I wanted to know how many people have had the opportunity to experience polys on your car. Specifically the lower and upper control arms (ES master kit, ect....). I would like to know how long u have had them, what u think of them, and what is your suspension setup (spring rates if u can). I personally hated them. The grease dried out in about 6 months and they were noisy. The ride I thought was terrible with high spring rates and 17's. The only thing I liked polys on are the anti-sway bar, and the shift linkage. Thats it. Unfortunately I am thinking of going with them for my 98 Civic CX hatchback that I am building. The only reason I am thinking about it is the price. The honda factory replacement parts (have to get the whole control arms! ouch!) are over a 1000 dollars and now I am thinking the 130 dollar ES master kit doesnt look so bad. Anyways let me know what u think.
