Default polybush replacements? which color?

i'm looking at replacing my panhard/ radius / swaybar bushings... so i was gonna just buy a whole kit! any suggestions? i was debating on which color (stiffness) would you recommend for a disco that is driven on the road (longer trips) and off road a few times each year.

Just stick with the OEM bushings.
They are the best out there from what I hear.
If you were building a trail rig that is trailered to and from the trails then I would go with a ultra hard super duper set, but as your daily driver and weekend off roader, OEM all the way.

Scroll to the last paragraph- for some reason they don't recommend poly bushings

I would think the softer bushings would be better. Hard bushings don't flex, & that's what we want! Race cars don't want flex so they'd use the hard stuff.

Some people love polybush, some hate them.
There are different brands and I've never been told, despite asking many times, which brand people don't like.
Blue = softer better for off-road
Red and orange = harder, better for on-road handling.

I have blue polybush brand on my D1. I like them fine.
