Ive done the ES bushing and they improve the "feel" of the car...more of a "point and shoot" feeling. It makes it feel more connected to the road surface. If youre bouncing around due to bushings you might want to stop driving until you address that issue. Also, not know what your driving, if your cars up there in age (10+ yrs) you cant help but improve your car by doing the ES swap...the bushings on the car now are old and worn from the trashing.
rhart pretty much nailed it.

its an s13. you're gonna fight wheel hop in one form or another pretty much always.
bad bushings can be a major cause of it.
a worn out damper will cause it too.
sub frame bushings will cause wheel hop.

Like rhart said, you stand to only improve the car seeing as how you're replacing parts that are old and worn out. so really, no matter what you do it will help.

Just don't have expectations of handing like an indy car just because you swapped out some bushings.
