The Poly bushings will benefit you in several way;
- -they don't decay like rubber
- -more durable and resistant to abrasion
- -better positioning, little distorsion under stress
- -much better handling without sacrificing ride quality
- -often lower cost than OEM
- -soft PU bushings protect your suspension components from stress damage.

After having the PU bushings in the front of my 164 for 20K miles of
rough use, I can't think of a downside.

SuperPros are NOT hard urethane, but softer, slightly firmer that the
rubber but also good for racing applications. More info and fitments for
