To respond to Mitchell's question...best for what? What are your ride priorities?

    The standard PU bushes are fine. When
      fitting they have to be lubricated profusely. There should be no
      fear of cracking etc. They may be a bit harsher, but new rubber
      bushes would be as well. The harder varieties are more for track
      use and may be a bit to harsh for everyday use.

      If you are afraid of cracking fit softer PU or rubber bushes to
      the shock absorbers. Keep the PU bushes lubed regularly with
      silicone lubricant, that will keep the squeaking and groaning at
      bay.

      It will make the handling a bit sharper, but do not expect
      miracles.

        Hello list,

        
         
        I would like to hear the collective wisdom.............on
          suspension bushings
         
        About a year ago I bought all the bushes  (SuperPro
          brand) to rebuild my rear suspension........I am getting ready
          to install them soon...... I was also going to order my front
          suspension too from (SuperPro)   BUT, I did a little reading
          last night  ....Michael Salter's site,etc,etc.    Now I am not
          so sure about poly urethane bushes verses  rubber.......The
          SuperPro bushes I bought already were expensive...........but
          its a fair job to replace them....only to have a harse ride,
          sqeaks ,groans, cracked frame etc,etc,   
        When I bought the SuperPro bushes ....someone do not
          remember who told me they were the best....so I bought them
        So what is the BEST bushes and who sells them??   will the
          SuperPro be alright for the rear? or not?
         
        Thanks for any help
