Poly bushes

[youngres]

I'm sure this question must have been raised before, but a search couldn't find anything, so I'll ask here.
What is the opinion of using poly bushes as a replacement for the OE viod rubbers in the bottom arms. These seem popular but in my experience poly bushes although resiliant, don't offer the compliance that rubber gives and in particular viod bushes. I've also experience poly bushes not lasting very long.
So do I use my existing front arms and replace the old rubber bushes with poly bushes or buy refurbed bottom arms that Hartec produce with rubber bushes, which they say are void rubber, just like the original Porsche items.
I'd rather not break the bank buying Porsche new bottom arms if I can avoid it.
Any comments?

I am very pleased with my superflex bushes. It's difficult to quantify what they do to the feel... the steering is much sharper than before and there's much less vibration under braking but I'm only comparing that to 20 year old original bushes that must have been shot. Be careful about the price though because although the bushes are not expensive, compared to full arms, you might have to pay for a couple of hours labour to have the old ones removed and the polybushes fitted. Therefore I would say that the Hartech re-conditioned would probably work out at the same price.
