and i totally agree with the above.... even mercereds are unibodys,, and they ride just fine .. and besides the only thing rubber suspension bushings do in my view is allow your geometry to change under load... screwing with the cambercurve in turns and so on

Del-alum bushings have so little friction they allow your shocks to do their job.. unlike polys that are so stiff that they themselves transmit bumps and noise...
