The bushings in my Camaro are there in spirit but not in function. As far as I can tell they are the ones GM installed 211,000 miles and 15 years ago. It is time for some new ones.

The choices are:

Energy Suspension Poly bushings - I have read some complaints of them not holding up to punishment tracking and autocross doles.

PST Polygraphite - I haven't been able to find many good reviews of these.

Or

Moog OE replacement

What are your thoughts or experiences with any of these?

EDIT: I'm referring to the front control arm busing specifically as they are the worst off for now.

Will going to a tubular Lower A-arm with rod ends put you in a different class or cost you points?
The rod ends would hold up the best.

It will cost points, and greatly exceed my budget.

As far as I know I have had good luck with energy suspension. I only know of one application people say they have problems with them. The trailing arm bushing on the rear of civics, but that was a poor design from honda. I think from what I know of your suspension it should be fine. I mainly like them more than stock because they last longer.
