I will say this, it's a bit stiff. But compared to some cars I've ridden in, it's totally tolerable. Squeaking is non-existent, however, I've only been riding on mine for a very short while. I'm sure as time goes on the grease will get washed away and squeaking may start.
If you enjoy a super soft, quiet ride then I'd look towards OEM replacements. If you can stand a small loss in ride smoothness (not ride quality) then I'd go with poly. Handling is so magically with poly bushings (especially when upgrading from totally shot OEM rubber).
From the way you talk, and the other mods you have on your car I'd say you're due for a suspension rebuild any time now. If you replace all the bushings, but leave in old ass balljoints then you won't see the full benefit. Same goes for doing both of those things but keeping your busted axles. Whatever route you take, do it once and do it right! No sense buying parts over and over.

I'm hesitating on replacing my bushings with poly substitutes for fear of squeaking and increased stiffness. How have yours been so far? Hopefully my fears are ungrounded.
Plus I'm having a hard time sourcing all of the OEM bushings for not too much coin. The poly kits look very tempting.

Sorry Nic, going to get a full setup at some point and would rather just buy all at once. Plus, I have money tied up in other areas right now and my suspension will hold out for a while. I still don't know how much money I'll be making this summer so I need to wait a while before I start spending money I won't be recovering this summer.

Thanks Tomi! I already sent a PM back, oh well.
Whatever route you go with paint you should really be careful who you go to. Mine paint job was overall not very good. It looks fine in pictures but when you see it in real life there are a number of areas you can tell where they just cut corners. Then again, it was only $400 so I can't really complain too much I guess.
But you can't go wrong with CBP

Doh! I found it .. lol, disregard the PM ..
Man, what an insane amount of TLC that went into this beauty ..
I'm still tryin to figure out my paint color, and the more I see of this Cobalt Blue Wagon,

Keep up the great work man .. I'd love to see that thing in person!

Thanks man
Yes, the only reason you need spacers in the front is to clear the caliper bracket. If you shave down the caliper bracket then there is no need for the spacers and the wheels will match up to the hub ring.

so you're going to run the itr's without spacers?
wagon is looking good as always.

Thanks man, I still can't wait to see yours all done and wrapped up, should be killer.
I won't say it's any more comfortable with all the poly but it definitely handles much better. Still need to address the coilovers. Not really satisfied with these F2's
That, and the fact that my engine mounts are shot all to hell
AND the spacers I run make the wheels not match to the hub ring so it shakes like a crack baby on the interstate. Going to grind down the caliper brackets here in a bit to fix that though and I should be fine besides the mounts. Plus, those really only cause problems when I'm stoppped or traveling at really low speeds (i.e. <5mph)
