    Recommend me some FCAB's (Front Control Arm Bushings)

    Mine need to be changed. I have a shop who will change them for me for $60, just need the bushings.

    I'm looking for Sporty/Performance bushings. Preferably with the carrier, but without it also fine.

    Are the offerings from UUC or powerflex less sporty than those?

    Look at AKG if you're interested in stiffer /sportier bushings.

    The first question is rubber vs urethane. There's a reason rubber is used in the original design. Bottom line is urethane suspension bushings of any sort do affect NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). Usually in a way most drivers consider detrimental to the driving experience, especially on increasingly bad public roads.
