This will happen to any rubber bush, Suzuki or Blueprint.
I'm interested in the longevity of poly bushes. They look easier to fit and remove and I have been convinced they flex ok. They are not cheap though.

One thing I do know about Polybushes, they are a much stiffer ride.

With my soft springs I'm not sure anything will be a hard ride! I was gonna change them but I like they're softness off road as it keeps the car level by allowing the flex. I think spring spacers to give back what they have sagged may be the answer.
I have good Blueprint bushes at present and they have given 18 months good service with some hardcore offroading once a month since fitting with no signs of degradation. I have spare arms so wondered about fitting poly bushes to them for when the Blueprint ones do give up the ghost.
I kind of want a report from someone who has run poly bushes long term. They do wear too but are a million times easier to change but it's whether their higher price v longevity is the right ratio.
Blueprint ones are about £13 each so about £160 for the car. A lot cheaper than poly and I have free access to a press and spare arms so I never have to be without the car. Cutting the old ones out I don't enjoy though!
