Poly is not that great. U put poly sway bar bushings in may camaro back in 1990 and they crumbled apart when i took the car out of storage back in 2005. Plus poly can be noisy.

If you dont plan to do track days and just want a cruiser go with rubber

15 years on poly that wasn't properly maintained was pretty damn good. Remember that bushings are a wear item and should be maintained (greased often) and replaced when necassary. Lack of proper lubrication will make anything noisy, over heat then crack.

Im a fan of the delrin lined bushings and the NVH is subjective. Some customers feel it some don't.

Thanks for the input guys and Marcus,I'll read up a bit more and probably just get right into tubular uppers and lowers down the road.As with everything it's a matter of cost so I figure I'll save up for the good stuff and do it right the first time...I sure as heck hope I do it right the first time...

Agreed, plus Poly has come a long way and 15 years ago, very few had a Zerk fitting so they could be greased
