I vote for new rubber. Poly is harsh and can squeak (most of the time) and is harder to install back to spec. Thats just my experience, but I do run poly sway arm bushings.
Me too.
I inspect the front suspension components. If the original ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.are good. I reuse them. One of the problems with all-in-one kits is you have little control over quality. The LCA bushings are usually beat and I get Moog rubber. The rubber is so thin there isn't a whole lot gained with poly unless you are road racing. I also use Moog offset UCA bushings to get more caster.
However, I use poly for for the sway bar links and bushings.
Also....rear spring shackles get replaced with poly I source from Mancini Racing. That might be an area that gets overlooked.
This is what I do on my junk because I drive them, not race them every day.
