The whiteline anit lift kit has them, static (when measuring i.e. standing still) it should give 0.5 degree extra caster but when driving (dynamic) 1 degree extra because the poly bushes dont flex as compared to the originals.
I did not notice an increase in in-car noise but that could come into play if you also replace other rubber bushes with poly.

Should have added that in general the poly bushes make the car stiffer hence should improve handling but again more in-car noise is the other side of the coin.

Done this!

Tightens the car no end, noisey and creaky too!

Hard slog of a job to do.
