   Phil, consider me the first to be much happier with my Delrin CA bushings 
than with the stock rubber types.  Of course, your comment would only be 
valid if you were implying that there are those who are "perfectly" happy 
with their stock rubber bushings, which I do not know of any.  And, just like 
any circumstance in life, nothing is "perfect", but certain decisions have 
pluses that outweigh the negatives.
   If you are looking for a firm, precise, deflection free way to control 
your suspension travel, then delrin bushings have the advantage.
   If it is a softer, less harsh, more comfortable ride, then the rubber 
bushings do their job as the factory intended.  I think we can all agree, 
however, that the stock rubber bushings are not designed for all out 
performance (or optimal within a certain chassis)due to upgraded Audi Sport 
and race components.
