Same suggestion entirely; go for full polyurethane set, but a word of
caution about the choice of polyurethane bushings. There is range of
four firmness grades: 70, 80, 90, & 95 (have look at:
http://www.superflex.co.uk). For road conditions you have, it is best to
choose softest grade for s/arms and links. Harder compound can be used
for the rest, but not over 80 grade. The rest is basically for racing
applications.
