Default Polyurethane Body Mounts

Has anybody used polyurethane body mount bushings on thier midyear.
Are they too hard on the body ( cracking ) or is the stock rubber good enough ? :skep:

I have poly everywhere in my car, I built the car for hard driving and stock rubber just wouldn't cut it. If I was looking for comforth I would buy a BMW. :lol:

I replaced my body mounts a few months ago and used the rubber ones. You get a smoother ride from the rubber. The poly last longer, but I figured that the rubber in my 81 lasted 21 years so I used rubber again. :)

:iagree: From what I have heard if your want all out performance use the poly but for daily driving and comfort use the stock rubber replacements. I plan on doing my entire suspension in poly but useing rubber on the body to help kill some of those vibrations before they get to the body.
