Yes, I think I understand those differences. The reason I started this thread was to collect opinions on how much of ride quality the members here think is due to the rubber or to springs/shocks/dampers.
I'm looking to replace all the old rubber on my suspension, and if moving to poly and/or metal makes my suspension perform better without compromising comfort in any significant way, I'm all for it.
If switching to poly/metal means my wife and/or kids will be uncomfortable with the ride, then I'd just stick with the rubber.
