Delrin or Poly bushings? Worth it?

First of all, if you've been following the thread, the car in
question, the one that's getting its suspension rebuilt isn't a
quattro, it's a Coupe GT, so the ref to AWD isn't directly applicable.

Second, the process of "learning the proper line" is not the same
thing as learning the "proper line" for the car in question.  For some
it is a matter of opinion.  The proper line for a Porsche 951 will not
necessarily be the best line for a quattro.  So I would think that
there might be some advantage to "learning the proper line" from one
who is familiar with what is the "proper line" for an AWD car versus
another.
