I ordered them and tried that, it became very tippy, with none of the progressiveness of the stock trucks. I find the blue bushing are better for my weight (240 all geared up). They're on a loaded vanguard flex 1.
Where the red stock bushings are super responsive, to the point of being twitchy when going faster, the blues just seem to settle the board down. I have to be more decisive when I make the board turn but I like that.
I don't feel that I've lost any of the boards ability to carve what-so-ever when I really go for it, but when I straighten out and bomb a short section, like in a garage with my friends for example, the board just seems more stable.
My friend however, who's about a hundred pounds lighter than me, said it made my board feel dead, he liked the stock ones more.
In summary, I like them because I feel like I can be more aggressive on the board, move around a little, really push into carves, with the blues.
