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
