polyurethane suspension bushings?

ok ive been doing alot of searching and havent found a real answer on these yet. I had a fully poly kit on my crx and it was great. What will these kits do for our cars? does anyone have experiance with them? i have some oem rubber ones in need of replacing and since i like to DRIVE my car with the upgraded suspension it has, i dont mind the ride of the urethane.
ive heard some people saying they caused problems?
oh btw im mainly leaning towards the front kit at the moment or but yanking the oems and filling around the rubber with the urethane.
please lemme know on this, the cars lowered so i cant see using oems and just having them crap out in a few months.

I have front and rear poly suspension bushings and like the the way they feel. The biggest difference though is that they squeak.

Just get the rubber bushing on them, only like $5 more. And you don't have to worry about squeaking or anything.

He is saying just replace them with the OEM rubber bushings.

OEM = quiet, cheap, not very durable
Poly = some squeaking, 2x the cost of OEM, lasts forever
