I've found OEM rubber, Poweflex urethane, and the 034 units. If I am going to fight with these things to replace them, I will certainly get an upgrade over stock.

034 are out of the question due to the $250 price tag.

I like the powerflex, but wanted some opinions from others with experience with the powerflex units, or maybe another brand. Thanks!

I used energy suspension polyurethane. I really liked it because you can just push them in with your hand instead of having to press them in. It is working very well. I paid $45

depends on the roads in your area. If they're crap like up here, you don't want Poly ANYTHING on a daily driver

The rear suspension bushings are just a pivot point pretty much, so the ride shouldn't be any harsher.
