I'm going to order my front end rebuild kit from PST. Need the opinions of others as I think that I'm going to go with rubber opposed to polygraphite. I'm looking for the smooth ride,not worried about a little body roll. I've been told the poly bushings can be a little rough. What do you guy's think of rubber vs. polygraphite?

DEFINATELY go with the polyurethane. I changed mine last year and have driven about 600 miles on them, simply amazing. Those bushings, kyb shocks, and a 1 1/4" sway bar have made me a very happy man. The ride is not harsh at all, i can tell hardly a difference. You have to remember to let the car weigh down in the fron end before torqueing the nutz/boltz (I didnt). Now my car rides a lil high up front, but has settled a lot since driving it. graemlins/beers.gif

If you're definatly going rubber, you might be able to get them cheaper through a local parts store. Just get quality ones like Moog.

I found the polys to give a much harsher ride. If you don't have rattles before installing them, you will afterwards.
