I have been doing some searching on the poly bushings vs. rubber bushings and have some questions. I am hoping Duffy will ring in here. I know that poly bushings will negatively affect the ride quality. And I know that some claim that the poly bushings don't help the handling enough to justify the cost, but do they help the handling? Is there any situation where the poly bushings have been proven to hurt the handling? I know I read somewhere about the poly bushings slipping out (of the control arm?) in hard cornering, can anyone ring in there?
I am wanting tight steering and tight handling, as close to BMW as I can per say. I am wondering if the "best" setup would be a good amount of poly with some of the bushings being rubber.
I am already planning on chassis stiffening as much as possible.
Thanks.
