    rubber will last longer generally, it's softer and more resistant to wear, due to flexibility.

    polyurethane becomes brittle over time, and flakes away because it's not as porus, doesn't get as 'moisturized' as rubber

    realistically, if you want quality, find a TRD bushing set, it's expensive, but worth money. they're rubber, albeit a harder, better quality grade, and more wear efficient that OEM rubber bushes

    I'd trust rubber personally for everything but swaybars where I like stiffness, keep in mind the OEM ones on the car last 20 years in most cases. you don't get that lifetime on polyurethane

    The lower control arm bushes need to be pressed out and in.
    One end of the panhard rod and the 4 trailing arms need pressing out only.

    sorry guys I looked for ages and cant find the orginal link on it, however it goes something like this from what I understand:

    with all the bushes in the rear changed the diff cant pivot properly and to make it do that you need to either remove the top passeneger side bar (not recomended) or drill multiple holes through the rubber bushing.

    getting factory rubber bushes will cost you your first born. also note that if your looking for factory rubber bushes for an ae86 they'll be old and hence wont last as long.

    The nolathane etc. route is better if your looking for better response and a cheaper option.

    Granted rubber bushes will make be more comfortable but as i said less responsive.
