Too harsh for road use, if you wanna take your car round the track every weekend then go for it.
But for road use standard bushes are best :wink:

There isn't really a set mileage for the old ones to wear out, just depends how the car has been driven.

The only poly bushes i recommend are the ones for your anti-roll bars. As Fiesta_Steve said it's too harsh for road use.

Not much flex in polyurethane compared to rubber, so all the ikkle bumps stones and all that, you really feel it inside. Road noise will go up a little for similar reasons.
