Esentially the same thing. Bushings are supposed to be a little stiffer, but not stiff enough to limit suspension movement, or induce bind

From Maximum Motorsport's Website

"These Ford rear upper control arms are direct replacements for the 1979-2004 Mustang (non-IRS) control arms. They will restore performance lost to old and deteriorating rubber bushings. These control arms have the stiffest rubber bushings available, and are much stiffer than what came originally on the Fox chassis Mustangs. Although Ford Racing Performance Parts claims their bushings to be "twice as stiff" as stock, our testing has shown that while they are much stiffer than Fox chassis bushings, they are identical to the 1994-04 bushings."

If you haven't bought them yet don't. They are basically a stock replacement. They are a tad harder then factory bushings. I'm taking mine off now in favor of solid double adjustables.

you'll get bind and transfer into the sub-floor.

more info on this in the Suspension thread sticky'ed at the top of this forum.

if anything get some poly bushings if your worried about excessive noise or a harsher ride from the spherical bushings. For me I care about hooking more then comfort.

trust me the poly bushings will probibly make you bid to. I have aftermarket uppers and they are making it bind.
