urethane suspension bushings?

[desinor at sympatico.ca (Jean-Claude Désinor)]

  I just had the engine mounts replaced last Thursday, after enduring 
the originals all that time. The difference is night and day. Most of 
the body rattles are gone.
  At tha same time, I had them replace the timing belt, and since they 
were in that area, replace the valve cover gasket. As a bonus, they 
cleaned, blasted and painted the valve cover :-)
  Not cheap, but worth it.
  I opted for the rubber mounts, because I do like a smooth ride.
  Next plan is to have the suspension done, and yes, have every busing 
replaced also. Rubber again.
  Year after that, new tires, and paint? Would be fitting for the 25th year!

I have a little thumping going on down there when doing tight radius turns so I plan to replace all the suspension bushings at the same time I'm doing struts.  My question is who sells urethane bushings for the Scirocco?  Can I get a full set or just in onesies?  If they are unavailable, can I get a set from somewhere other than the stealership?  Any opinions on pluses or minuses of urethane on the Scirocco?
