Default 2008 Hatch Control Arms and Bushes

Anyone got any experience with upgraded bushes on these? What did you go for and how did it turn out? Some people say hard poly bushes can be jerky and harsh in operation. Any brands to go for and to steer clear of?

I also hear you can replace the entire control arms for 2011 + versions that have better bushing factory fitted - any experience?

i had mine polybushed completely up front. (rear to follow soon when funds permit) The anti lift kit is a must (i went with power flex over whiteline, purely down to the design of the adjustment of the whiteline requiring an odd type of peg spanner type thing whereas the power flex adjusting lug is a proper hex nut and comes with a spanner to do so. personal preference). with some geometry settings it was transformed. its my daily driver and yes, its firmer but definately worth it IMO, much more nimble so to speak.
