Best Bushings for my Application?, Oh noes! the choices! Options

[Brando]

Now, I use my car as a daily deutschebag and weekend autocrosser. Right now my front and rear end feel kind of soft and squishy. My car still has the OE bushings (cheap rubber) from 1975. I've felt the ride of a 911 SC with Weltmeister bushings and it wasn't bad, and also a 911 SC with the poly-bronze bushings from Elephant Foot Racing and that was just like riding in a new 993. BUT I've yet to feel how the ride in a car with Mueller bearings or Neoprene bushings are. Cost wise the Weltmeister bushings or Mueller Bearings seem best, but I'm more concerned with the ride of the car.

For those using different flavors of bushings, what do you reccommend?

I've tried all 3, currently using the Elephant Racing bushings up front and poly's in back (Elephant didn't have a trailing arm solution at the time).

Note that many trailing arm tubes are slightly ovalled inside (they came that way from the factory, probably welding distortion), the original rubber bushings had enough compliance to compensate. However, unless you have the inside reamed, you may have (ahem) insertion problems with any solution that does not have a compliant outer layer to adjust to the ovalling.
