i dont know if the poly bushings will raise your car or not as i installed mine at the same time that i installed the lowering springs but i will say that if you want a smooth street ride you might have picked the wrong car all jokes aside though my vote is for polyurethane i used energy suspensions full kit on my car and its a tight ride now point and gono slop till you get to 80 but thats another post

i may have mistated something, i meant that any spring isolator, rubber or poly, will probally raise my car 1/2" since my stock rubbers are toast. so, stock or poly? i dont want a harsh ride, but will just poly isolators do this?

Poly, you will be fine. That alone will not cause a harsh ride.
