You may not use the car on the track, but I'll bet my left nut you both drive it like its on a track...

The correct grade of polyurethane will not cause any 'cabin vibration', thats a crock... espcially coming from a bunch of kids that will throw in a set of eBay coilovers that have a 9kg\mm spring rate without batting an eye lid :lol: When pushed hard, rubber will soften, unlike poly, and can deform under load, changing your wheel alignment... in the middle of a corner.
Oh sorry Ben :lol:
forgot the "we drive it like its on a track part" :lol:
but not usually when commuting :lol:

Sig worthy.

The problem with most people, especially FTO owners, is they are replacing an old typically perished item with a fresh item.
So of course the urethane replacement will be better, but it's why the two are different and how they perform differently, rubber to urethane, new for new that gives the benchmark.
Sadly I think few on here would have tried both...

I don't buy new cars, so anything I do replace is perished, no comparison really.

Noticed no difference in hardness after going urethane.
