Stabilizer end links - Poly vs. Rubber This past weekend I swapped out my poly link kits in the fronts to rubber. I noticed an improved ride quality for my DD and all of the bumps and pot holes I have to deal with on a daily basis. Since it's lowered - I understand that I am going to "feel" more. I still have the poly in the rear... and probably will swap that to rubber as well. I have already dumped the tubular poly control arms and gone back to stock with Moog rubbers. I guess it comes down to street DD vs. track.
I cannot say I noticed a major difference going from OEM rubber to poly endlinks and body mounts on the sways in terms of NVH.
The only other thing I would consider poly for is motor mounts, but even those I replaced w/OEM rubber...

You would probably be happy with moog endlinks. They are made of thermoplastic which in my opinion is in between OEM rubber and poly. I installed a front and rear set on my dad's 02 Z28 along with the front sway bar bushings to replace the worn out suspension pieces.
