What do people think about the stock, Moog Improved, and poly strut rod bushings?  Thinking about the poly for these and the sway bar, with rubber everywhere else.

I have been using mostly poly , less likely to break down & stiffer composition , time will tell !

I prefer poly because it is more dense, hence it compresses less, thus your alignment will remain more stable under heavy braking. However, certain brands of poly are too think to allow the lower control arm to fully seat in its socket, so make sure you mockup all the parts and verify before bolting everything down.

FWIW, I may switch over to the more solid style struts some time in the future to further improve this feature. However, I tend to drive the car very hard. If you building a cruiser and/or a garage to show and shine commuter, rubber will be more than adequate.

got pollygraphite  every where , except the lower control arm pivot , when i ordered the kit , PST were not selling the polly for bushing for that anymore , just the OEM rubber , was around the time , in every mopar mag there were articles saying polly in the lower control arm not the hot set up , cause is allows movement under braking
