Default Neatrix vs. Elephant Racing rubber spring plate bushings

Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of one vs. the other? I am very impressed by ERP's products, but the Neatrix have been around for a while, and seem to be well liked, too.

I am not talking about the ERP polybronze, just the rubber replacement bushings.

I installed ERP rubber bushings on my front suspension, and it's working out great. In fact I did a thread on it last spring. I did the rear a few weeks later, and I used Neatrix because I had them sitting around the shop for about ten years or so.

A year later the rear is working ok but it was prone to sticking at first. I would recommend that on the rear you smear some grease on the radius arm before installation. I would probably go with ERP on both front and rear, judging by how well the front is working.

I'll be changing the spring plate bushings when i reindex and lower my car in a few weeks and from what i read on Pelican the neatrrix have a tendency to squeak,which can become quite annoying to say the least.
Will be going with ER's hard rubber bushings for the spring plates and the front arms as well ...

I just did the ER rubber springplate bushings last week. Will find out in about 3 weeks how they work.

Don't go with Neatrix, they won't get the same reviews as rubber.

If it was me, and money was no object to you, I'd go with Elephant polybronze. They will improve the ride of most older 911's.
