As far as deflection/effectiveness go, someone on here (I forget who it was...I'm sure the topic could be searched up) measured the amount of deflection of the stock rubber bushing, which it even thicker and more compressible than one made for a thicker bar, using a dial indicator and jacking a corner of the car until the suspension was at full droop/and full compression. The reading was on the order of thousandths of an inch, which is negligible, to say the least. This is one reason I went with thicker bars, rather than simply changing the stock bushings to urethane - there was effectively zero advantage to using urethane over rubber. And I have no idea how you come up with rubber somehow being a less consistent material than urethane; it has a compression curve just as urethane does, and it will follow that curve just as urethane, or delrin or any other material would when compressed.
