   I have heard many a people say this, but I dont buy into it.  If your
ride is dependent on how your strut bearings absorb the road, then your
suspension isn't doing its job.  As far as noisy, nope... can't tell the
difference over the stock rubber.  

I don't have poly mounts, but if there isn't much difference in
noise/harshness b/w stock and poly I will go for it.

   Heh, try having 17s with Koni Sports, almost at full stiffness, about
1/2" of travel, & driving through downtown Seattle.  ZOINKS#@!$#@!  That
hurts!!!!   At that point, poly or rubber wont make a difference.  =p
IMHO, go for the poly.  Your bladder wont be able to the tell the
difference, and while your wallet will initially take the hit, you
should only get hit once.  SHAAZZAAAAM
