delrin in back?

[Kaklikian, Gary]

Don't know about the difference between new rubber bushings and delrin ones,
but so far, I'm very happy with delrin all the way around.
At Blau's prices, I think the rears are worth the money, especially for
track use or if you're planning to stiffen the rear further (swaybar,etc).

I'd be more concerned about the durability of the delrin bushings as
compared to rubber. The urethane ones I had previously felt tight only for a
few thousand miles.  Anyone used the delrin ones for 20/30k miles?
