Anyone regret going front coilovers?

Hey guys, I'm contemplating doing a front Ridetech kit, but I really don't want to make the front end harsh. This truck is a cruiser and currently has a normal 4/6 drop... spindles, Eibach front springs, blown out front shocks, flip kit in the rear with c-notch. The truck actually rides pretty good! Granted, everything needs replacing... shocks, bushings, balljoints, etc etc etc so I was thinking of maybe doing the Ridtech kit BUT it has the solid bushings for the front control arms. Every single other car/ truck/ vehicle that I've ever built where I installed front control arms with anything other than rubber bushings has been a disaster for me. Every expansion joint I hit in the road I can feel through the whole frame, and I wish I had left it stock.

Any feedack from guys that have done the front Ridetech stuff or other tubular a-arms?
