Just wondering about peoples experience or opinions on polybushes or standard?
If polybush, go for a full car set or standard some places and polybush other?
edit: sorry should have mentioned car is a '94 sprite. I will be fitting hi-lo's, cones and KYB gas shocks and haven't decided yet but probably 12" wheels.

Have tried both. For normal everyday road use, I prefer rubber.

Re: Polybush or not?
There are two levels of hardness with polybushes and for some bushes there are two levels of rubber. For a road car the biggest differance you'll notice is road noise, if your running a big exhaust you may not notice this.
Personally I run harder rubber on the suspension and poly on the engine steady.

Which ever way you go just avoid the poly front subframe rear mounts, they are junk, poly may give extra stiffness over rubber in some applications but these are poorly designed offering little strength past the first fit.
