Default Solid bushings

I currently have the opertunity to buy a set of upper and lower mac arms for my 8.8 in my 90 GT. I am running this as a street car, are the solid bushings to much for the road and mainly a strip only thing? or is it ok for the street as well?

depends on what the roads are like where your gonna be driving, also having all 4 bushings solid means your torque boxes take a huge amount more abuse
