Uprated anti roll bar bushes and link rod bushes?

Is it possible to get uprated link rod bushes for the anti roll bars?
What is the preferred make of bushes for E30s? I know on saxos the powerflex ones aren't that hard and polyrace ones from rallydesign are pretty much solid nylon and much stiffer.
Any good ideas? My rubber bushes are all perished and i can't see the point of fitting rubber ones again.

front ARB links can be replaced with E39 saloon rears, these have a balljoint both ends so the rubber issue is negated, you'll ned to make up lower "tabs" though to allow them to mate with the E30 Track control arms but some 40x40 angle and a drill should see that sorted in no time

Sounds like a plan
That's another problem solved.
Cheers

How about welding brackets on front struts and using M3 links?

still leaves the lower mounting needing a little DIY fettling but assuming you can get the geometry correct, cant see why not.
Obv pull the inserts before welding the strut itself.
