Disconnect one of those arms from the subframe and try moving it up and down on the upright side and you will see what I mean... now imagine trying to move all 5 of those bushings up and down at the same time(the ES RLCA bushings are the worst).

People only recommend them because they don't know what is going on with their suspension... Yeah they will make your car stiff but in the wrong places... the bushings basically over-power the cheap chinese coils everyone runs and you end up with a bouncy ride at low speeds.
Thanks for the heads up. Everything seems to move freely as of now, however the grease is still fresh. I plan on doing periodic inspections during the first few weeks of driving to be sure everything is still tight and still adjusted.
