Opinions needed.
I just ordered a Spec stage 3 plus clutch kit. And I've got the credit card in my hand ready to order the prothane bushing kit. I called my buddy that owns Vetttec performance shop and asked him about putting poly eurothane on the car and he said it's way to stiff for the street. He said I drag race not road race and will never put them on my vette. Opinions please.

Re: Opinions needed.
I'm curious about this too, not sure if I should just go with Moog rubber parts, or if it's worthwhile to go with poly. ...

Re: Opinions needed.
If poly makes the car handle better but the price you pay is a super stiff ride I'm ok with that. It's not a daily driver so my kidneys will only take a beating on the weekends.

Re: Opinions needed.
I have done the poly in other cars I have owned, and they will creak and groan enough to make you wish you had stockers UNLESS you add zerk fittings to keep them greased. Adding the fittings and a little grease makes worlds or difference, and makes the poly a very worthwhile mod. If you don't add the fittings, dont do the poly

Re: Opinions needed.
Not that my reply will be of any help, but I know I've read a post about poly bushings & there was a specific brand mentioned which no one had squeaks from, and that was a major theme running through the post.

Re: Opinions needed.
I'm sure others will chime in, but there's also the concern about squeaks with the polyurethane bushings.
