Our take on the situation:
There are more crucial modifications to be made in the Camaro suspension system, but there are some gains to be had with going to a spherical bearing in place of that OEM Bushing. Not only does the spherical bearing included in our Camaro Spherical bearing kit eliminate deflection of that bushing which cannot be avoided when using rubber as the material of choice, but a spherical bearing allows the front suspension to articulate more effectively by minimizing friction at the control arm pickup points. Installing spherical bearings has the added benefit of keeping your alignment from wandering as rubber bushings deflect, allowing control arms to move in undesirable ways. From a pure performance perspective there isn't a reason not to eliminate OEM rubber bushings.
