Chris, I prefer the standard rubber type on road cars for safety reasons as I've seen too many mounting failures on Datsuns (mainly on dirt cars) and it's scary ride with your front suspension tucked up in the wheel well. For a dedicated racer poly should be fine and does give much better braking control.

Castor rods Hi Mick, I've found the urethane type to be heaps better under braking. Stuart Wilkins also sells the adjustable castor rods. They are a fair bit thicker than standard ones so breakage shouldn't be a problem.
