I'd go with the "street" version of the poly bushings if cost and no maintenance is an issue. As much as I'd love to sell my needle bearing kit, I don't want to push them on someone that does not need them.

The key to these poly bushings working is ensuring that the A-arms rotate freely after the bushings have been pressed into the metal stamped housings. I have seen lots of the housings that are not round anymore from abuse or whatever.

The needle bearings will transmit more road noise, but the ride is much better since the shocks and springs will now work instead of fighting the rubber bushings which are "squeezing" the shaft of the a-arm.
