body bushings questions
I was wondering if I should get rubber or poly for a street driven car. Where's the cheapest to get them? I found these polys but I don't know if polys would be good for my car and if they include the missing bushings.

poly bushings
For what it's worth, the previous owner of my GN installed poly bushings at all 7 locations including the "GNX" bushings and I am very glad he did. I have owned a number of Turbo Regals over the years and this has a noticeable difference. I have heard of others complaining of a stiff ride or "squeaking" but I think it is a huge improvement over the stock rubber bushings particularly since half of them were missing during assembly. I love the ride and I can't hear any squeaking over my radio.

order a set from summit or jegs, save a few bucks.... and as for ride quality, it's firm, but not too much so, i like it a lot, but then again, most of my bushings were removed when i powerwashed the undercarriage.....no problem with squeaks though.

I replaced my missing only with factory rubber ones & did the GNX bushings, all from Kirbans, love the ride.

Coat the top and bottom of the bushings with some anti-seize and they won't squeak.
 I did that and mine don't squeak.Tarey D.

Polyurethane Body Mounts & Strut Rod Bushings I see they sell them but I never heard of them, anyone else sell the poly kits and how much are they, and also do the kits you buy come with the bushings the GNX came with?
