I need to rebuild the front end of my 67 Goat. I'm planning to purchase a complete kit. I'm not sure whether to go with the polyurethane or stock rubber bushings. Can anyone give me the pros and cons of each and/or make a recommendation? I drive the car approximately 1000 miles per year. Also, can anyone comment on whose kit is the best as far as being complete, fitting correctly and having 1st quality components?

I purchased a complete poly. kit from PY. Parts were 1st class.
I went with poly because of the way they stiffen up the front end. There is absoultly no deflection in the bushings. New rubber is much softer then poly. IMHO, poly is better then rubber.
