Rubber are decent as they absorb more shock instead of sending it through the rest of the car. Best ring around for prices. I could give you my price and you might have to pay 30 bucks a set more. Best say where you're from and someone might point you to a place to buy them.

As long as the rubber ones are genuine and not cheap, been there done that lasted 3 months the cheapo. Haven't had a problem with shock throughout the car from a radius castor bush but I do agree on some suspension parts like the lower control arm and strut tower mount..

Agreed, used to buy cheapo solid rubber ones on eBay and the car would chew them out in 10,000km. Then went for the cheapest polyurethane kit on eBay for about $60 and never had to replace them again. Just make sure you're greasing the polyurethane ones up with lithium grease or else they'll squeak and groan a lot... ask me how I know.

Keep in mind that some poly etc kits are adjustable by swapping washers at the front of the z bar to change your caster.
