Yes, good point, with the sway bars especially.
I am considering these as well.
Just one of those 'where do I even start?' types of things that makes your head spin.
I only considered the DC 1-link because it was $85 shipped to my door. Just click 'buy now' and here it is! I'm quite happy. It's a well-built piece and looks almost never installed. And then someone local is selling an equally mint condition JDL triangular brace.

Another good point.
My car is a 2013 with 52k miles now. Bushings definitely aren't destroyed, but swapping to new and firmer style would be a big change.
The bushings on the tops of my strut towers are showing some superficial cracks. Not a big deal, but just a reminder that it's not invincible. It's a machine that suffers wear and tear when being thrashed on.
