Performance wise? I would say no difference. Graphite is used to stop squeaking. Therefore, the graphite impregnated bushings should theoretically eliminate squeaking. The red bushings are simply regular polyurethane bushings. They may squeak. That is why the red bushings come w/ a packet of grease.

A bit off topic but the FAQ says:



"Strut rod bushings do not use graphite, because they are a compression type bushing and the graphite would affect the bushings ability to rebound when compressed, and compression type bushings do not squeak."



Isn't the Dtts bushings Compression basied? or can you get them in graphite impregnated? What exactly is "Strut Rod" Bushings?

The sway bar end link bushings that ES includes only work for the S4's. I put them in.. cheaper alternative than the RB adjustables but probably not as strong.
