has anybody used poly body mounts instead of factory rubber? and can you give me your opinion. I'm looking for nice ride but want to reduce body flex on frame of 67 convertable

I put them in place of the factory mounts on my 4x4 tow vehicle. I will never use the rubber again. It seems that after a year the rubber are back to where they were before they were replaced. The poly mounts have been in my truck for 4 years now and they are still at they same height as when installed. The ride is firm but not harsh. I hope this helps your decision. mike

I used graphite impregnated urethane bushings on my 76 Trans Am. The difference was incredible. I have since upgraded the whole suspension to urethane. The only exception is the control arm bushing, those will be later this spring. No squeaks or groans and the car handles nice and tight. I would do it if I were you.

Unfortunately, only chevelle body mounts are available in Poly. They are different than the GTO.
