screw the average driver. make rock hard and eliminate all toe changes.
sure it make the car harder to drive for the average driver but toe changes cause more tire wear. not to mention handling will be less predictable if the bushings are wearing out. this will cause toe change to be uneven on left and right side. heavy and light cornering as well as lane changes are affected greatly by toe settings. toe settings are especially important for driving straight stability as well as caster.
id rather have a predictable car than one that changes when bushings get more worn. especially since both sides WILL NOT wear the same id like to have something as stiff as possible so it does not flex and ruin its structural integrity.
thats the main reason i am a firm believer in nylatron bushings offered by srd. its just too bad there are no bushings for the rear.
