So, I'm switching over to aluminum cradle bushings, and
because I honestly could not care less about ride quality,
am trying to decide between poly and Delrin for the back
end.

Now, again, completely ignoring the negative impact to
ride quality
, is there any negative aspects to Delrin?
Will it wear out everything else quicker, for example?

Thanks to anyone with the answers!

Delrin is very durable. Make sure you slather it in grease on the way in.

Just your spine.

I'm young, I can think of no less than 348 ways I ruin my
back every day. Delrin won't be any worse, I'm sure.

Alrighty, well I'm Delrined-up in the rear, and solid-
mounted everything else while I was at it (Aluminum
dogbone, Aluminum cradle bushings, Poly-transmission
mounts). Once I stop this horrid habit of being poor, I'm
gonna Delrin the fronts up to, bringing me one step closer
to a car that is so unstreetable, no thief will bother
trying to take it.
