Upgrading the steering rack bushings

I just got a new rack from Meridian. Before I install it I'd like to know if anyone has replaced the bushings with a tougher material, like polyurethane or the like. I've heard from a car afficianado that replacing these will make a definate improvement in handling response. Thoughts?

Sounds good. If you do it, get 10 times the amount of bushings you need, and sell teh rest of them as 'kits' to people like me.

Ive looked into getting them made

outta urethane...
I have to commit to 1000 of each bushing
and the car uses 2 different bushings..
So chances are we wont be doing them for a while.
