Dave,

I came to the same conclusion that you did several years ago 
with my '89.  I put the aluminum ring type on it, and it was 
my daily driver.  North-Central Illinois roads, combined 
with the removal of most of the compliance from the 
suspension made the car seem 20 HARD years older.  Yes, the 
steering was marginally quicker, but I decided I could 
easily compensate for that and I took the solid bushings off.

Now that car is going to be my track car and rarely get out 
on the road, so I may put some back in.  I sold that set, so 
I will be getting some more soon.

Anyone that says there is no difference in ride NVH with the 
solid bushings must drive on billiard table smooth roads.

:)
