APA Bushing Durability? 700

Hi, I'm going to change the rear bushings in my 740 with live axle,
meaning the torque rod bushings and panhard bushings.

IPD and FCP both sell "APA" rubber bushings for most of these.
Has anyone had these in their car for a while? How do
they hold up?

The alternative is to get them from Volvo for about $200.

Another alternative is to get the polyurethane panhard bushings
from IPD and the rest from Volvo. Are the poly bushings better
than rubber in the panhard rod?

Thanks!
- Alex
