to just fit the std bushes would be silly i think, if you have gone all that way to uprate the wishbones in the first place.  You will only have to do the front bushes anyway as you already have the WALK iirc.

The stock front bushing is already solid. It's the rear bushing that makes
a huge difference.
Replacing the front bushes is some work and you need a press. So imho
it doesen't make much sense.

Even more: ride comfort isn't something to like if fully polied'

Ride comfort is something I sacrificed along time ago Holger  :ashamed:

I know, Mike.  :signLOL:

I have swapped to (front) poly bushes, but I wouldn't do this again.
Not that it's bad in any way. It just isn't worth the hassle in my eyes
because I promise you won't feel any difference, New TT arms come
with new (solid) rubber bushes that are paid for.
