Hey Batman, not to steal your thread or anything-- why would you want rubber-- do the Poly make the car harsh?
I've been thinking of just tossing in some of those rubber ends that Strano sells-- I don't need the adjust---I just want the damn wheel hop to be eliminated before I break something lol
Edit: Never mind....just remembered and viewed your "Help! Sick of my Suspension!!!" post lol.

The problem we feel with rubber bushing control arms is you really aren't gaining anything by installing them. Honestly if you want to run rubber bushings in your control arms stick with stock arms. When you install a control arm with softer bushings like rubber the bushings pretty much defeat the purpose of a heavy duty control arm, in my opinion. The bushings will deflect very easy never allowing the solid control arm to work. Because of this is why we developed our Roto-Joint. Of course the Roto-Joint will never be as soft as rubber but it will out perform it in all areas. Our control arms that have a combination of poly/Roto-Joint are very popular, perform well and offer no noise from our experience. I run this set up on my cars with no issues.
Basically we are concentrating on improvement items and not factory replacement items.
I hope that helps,
Ryan

I understand but I feel there is a market for those who want adjustability with rubber ends. If not, like someone else said, there is also a market for people who want to be flashy with new suspension stuff but also have OEM ride quality.
I'm jus' thinking out loud here: Is it possible to have a two-piece end bushing where a good portion of the inner core is composed of poly and have the remaining outer core made of rubber? Like an 80% inner core of Poly and a 20% rubber cover to help with NVH?
