Lower control arm bushings
I have a lower that is starting to leak. So I figured I will replace both sides while I have the tool to do the swap. My question. Is there a alternative to the fluid filled bushings? I know kmac makes one. But I am not a fan of the poly bushings. I want a rubber one or a good middle ground? Ideas?

I do high speed touring and autocross with this car. The fluid filled bushing are great for ride and that soft ride. But for my use a I need a little stiffer bushing.

Old SRT4 motor mount trick...try to replace the fluid in the stock ones with 3M window weld, its a fast drying urethane that isn't quite as hard as poly.
