There is benefit, I'm not sure how much. When we switched to this type (Cat 5) the rear felt more precise & it let you know what was going on back there a little better. We have this Hotchkis system on Deanna's second gen Camaro which is winning.
In a back to back test, comparing it to Delrin/Poly bushings, I think the difference would be small. No way do you ever want a solid delrin or aluminum bushing up front on a leaf spring. It would cause corner exit oversteer due to binding. A solid bushing on the rear leaf eye is not so bad, but a stock front & poly rear on the leaf eyes is next best to this system.
