I have BMR poly/rubber and they work fine, a friend has BMR poly/poly and he's happy with his set up as well. Either way would be better then your stock LCA's. JMO

Just go ahead and get poly/poly... I got poly/rubber and they work great. My original thinking was that I wanted to make sure the ride wasn't all too harsh... but since then I've added poly bushings/endlinks everywhere that I could, so my ride is pretty harsh now anyhow. Looking back I should have just gotten poly/poly...

Poly/rubber will be quiter. It's what I went with originally when I only planned on occassional trips to the track and everyday driving. Don't plan on carving some corners with these though.

Rubber and parts bind quite easily, thus inhibitting proper suspension travel. It may or may not happen. I think rod ends are the way to go for either drag or autox.
