Default polyurethane or rubber bushings?

OK, wanted everyone's opinion.

'69 Camaro. Keeping it as original to showroom as I can. However, it will be driven plenty. I am in Phoenix.

Should I go with rubber bushings for suspension & body or go with a polyurethane kit? I want the original feel, but I'm worried that rubber bushings in the suspension will dry out and I'll be replacing them too soon.

Any opinions here?

Thanks.

I'm guessing GM rubber bushings are a little hard to find, no?

If you are wanting to stay original and also go with the bias plys, I would definately recommend going rubber.

I have polygraphite in mine and I definately get feedback from the road surface-- especially with the Polyglas on!!!
