Hmmm... I would question your reasoning there man. You might want to research polyurethane bushings a bit more. See they're stiffer than the stock rubber parts and don't give as much. This makes them better/more stable for racing applications or general high performance. But one downside to PU bushings is that with them being stiffer they don't give as much as the stock rubber parts and actually SQUEAK a lot. In fact they give you a special lube with the PU bushings to help prevent this squeaking. If you're trying to simply replace squeaking parts and don't need the extra performance, then I would maybe consider your other options. But hey, do a little Google search and see what you come up with, don't just take my word for it.
