this question gets asked regulary
the answers genrally are;
nolathene if you race/drag/or want a tight feel in your steering and suspension
rubber for everyday driving
nolathene is hard on your chassis, cracks are common in old chassis anyway, but almost gaurenteed with nolathane
rubber will soak up road noise, vibration, and sharp shocks
nolathane will send them through the whole car
i used rubber throughout my whole car (HQ) cause it's a daily driver and i'm happy with it

Hi there,
this topic has been discussed before and I have a firm view that any resto or replacement should be rubber.
My experiences have been all bad with Nolathane. They provide a more than hard ride, they squeak and wear out much quicker than rubber.
good luck, Dave.
