[86Cutlass383SR]

I have used poly bushings and the Global West Del-A-Lum bushings. The poly was in a stock a-arm and front coil spring 69 Camaro. Both upper and lower arms had the poly bushings. The arms were so tight due to binding about the only "suspension" it had was the tires. It might compress the suspension 1" if you bounced the front end by hand.

On the other hand, I had an 84 Cutlass with the GW DAL bushings in the stock upper and lower arms and 706# IROC springs and that suspension had much more movement.

Overall, the DAL let the suspension do what it was designed to do and the better ride was a result. The poly's binded the suspension and the ride was horrible even with all else being stock and new.

As was said above, solid bushings or new stock rubber.
