Coz he likes em, Sean. Some peeps do .

beats me why they do, can understand the noticeable difference after swapping out the 20+ year old originals - but the fact they will last a fraction of the time that a set of standard rubber ones will makes me wonder if peeps actually like changing them when they change their oils

ah well that's marketing for you - style over substance ....

Me N Sean hardly ever agree but.... Polybushes from my own experience limit articulation give a harsher ride, wear out and give enourmous ammounts of slop and if you fit non genuine polybushes i.e paddocks or other polyurethane bushed expect the above to happen in the space of a few months

There is ONE advantage to them that you do not need a press or specialist tools to replace them but thats it. my rear ones wore out in less than a year and the rear radius arm bushes wore oval giving me some interesting rear wheel steering when coming on and off the throttle.
