Red? Bue? Purple? Yellow? Poly Bushings Complete Set For 1979 MG midget 1500

What are ya'lls feelings about using Red Poly Bushings to achieve better high speed handling and stability as compared to Blue, for ride comfort. Where can one get a complete set for a 1500?
 
I cannot answer the first question but poly bushings can be sourced through Moss Motors and The Winner’s Circle.
 
TY...Moss does not carry a complete set for a 1500 MG Midget and blue only, I think I want RED. I will try The Winners Circle..... TY
 
I do think it depends on your plans. I know that some have found the Poly bushings a little hard for daily driving. OTOH if you are racing you probably want them especially for a 1500. Are you keeping the rubber bumpers? If not you might also want to source 1275 front springs and I doubt you have a front anti roll bar. (Apologies if I am telling you what you already know)
 
I am not racing it, I just drive fast on the Farm to Market roads. It has a sway bar, is that the same?
