I have found that the bushings help me ride higher by keeping the wheels centered better. By riding higher, I hit fewer stones and bumps, which not only makes for a smoother ride, but more speed and better handling as well. Plus, it keets the body in better shape.
if you're gonna take out bushings, at least stick bearings in their place. bushings and bearings are there for a reason and that is to support the axles that rides inside them
