i have Stance GR+ on my s13. and i noticed on the rear coilovers that the bottom mount bushing is starting to wear significantly cause my car is so low. its been 3+ years since i've had em.

on to my question

is there anything i can do to upgrade that? like a pillow ball joint?

You might be able to install a spherical bearing, but it would be completely custom. There's no off the shelf solution...

I would look into some sort of urethane bushing, but that would also be custom.

You could install a spherical bearing, but it would probably require custom machining the lower bracket.

The easiest solution would be to contact Stance and get a replacement.

mmm ok. i see. yeah. i'll give them a call some time soon. they're starting to look like the 20 year old bushings on lower control arms.... :bite: perhaps i went too long with running super negative beast camber with the stock links... throwing in my adjustable links now and getting a proper alignment today.
