Is anyone using the polyurethane upper and lower control arm bushings on the front? I need to replace mine but didn't know if it was worth the extra money or if I should just go with stock style rubber replacements. My car is set up for drag only btw.

For a drag only (or any application for that matter), you might want to look into Global West and the Del-a-lum bushings. They are a greasable delrin inner and aluminum outer bushing that allows for smooth movement of the control arm against the shaft. I have them in my bracket car and they are really sweet, totally worth the money. After all, smooth consistent motion is what is preferred for a drag car. Sometimes, the poly and rubber bushings can be described as sticky, not ideal for suspension tuning on a drag car.

^ what he said.

I got SPC adjustable uppers with delrins and they are amazing

Sometimes they squeak. All of them eventually turn to mush. I'd go with the Delalum bushings (I already did, actually).
