Has anyone had poly bushes installed?

I suspect I need to replace the lower control arm bushes on my '96 Aero (141K miles). One obvious option is to fit poly bushes such as those supplied by Abbott and others. Has anyone tried these and if so, were they worth the money?
I'm looking for sharper handling, but I ought to get some improvement by replacing worn bushes with new OEM ones. Are the poly bushes much better still? Also, I really don't want to make the car ride more harshly, more noisily or with more vibration. How do the poly bushes score on this point?
Finally, with the Pirelli tyres I had originally on the car, I could make the wheels spin on dry road. With the much grippier Yokohamas I have been using since, I feel I can accelerate harder, but when the power gets to be too much for the available traction I get wheel-tramp, which must shake the front of car to bits. Would more solid suspension bushes help to reduce this?
