yeah i know how to do it lol. I just need part numbers. Are the solid aluminum worth it? This is a full race car, doesnt see much street use...

Just remember that the rubber stuff is there for a reason. The rubber stuff would have been poly from the factory if it were cheaper. Aluminum DOES NOT GIVE. Your ride will be harsher and you will wear other suspension components prematurely because they are working double time trying to compensate for the other parts not giving. My vote is for poly, energy makes some good stuff.

just curious, how much were they?

Also look into Prothane bushings there pretty good too.

Love the ones in the subframe...
the ones on the diff on the other hand I think are overkill...
I'd do delrin next time on the diff...
no noticeable harshness (other than subpair suspension setup)

Spl parts aluminum subframe bushings.

Everything else is a waste of time.

It feels better than it did with the blown crappy bushings. In terms of rear end feel and ride comfort.
