Can you comment on any additional harshness of the ride, or vibrations or rattles now that you have installed them? Thanks!

On good roads, its smooth like butter. I don't hear any additional rattles or noise back there; my tires and exhaust probably mask anything that could be heard.
On bad roads, I would say its marginally harsher. Its not a bad tradeoff though; I rather experience some harshness and get instant response rather than wait for the suspension to settle itself after some rocky road ice cream.
Keep in mind, I've done a bit of work to stiffen the ride so I can't comment on these bushings alone. In the rear I have Racecomp Engineering Springs which are fairly stiff, cusco lower control arms which probably contributes minor stiffness, and these bushings. I also have star specs which howl like a wolf all day.
I've put more than 150 miles in various terrain where I live. Overall these don't add any noticable NVH given the amount of modification present. Hope that helps you.
