ive searched and cant find any feed back on these (other then 2 less then favorable reviews on the bird site)
the price is right but is it worth the hassle? mine are pretty mushroomed so i think anything is better then what ive got...but i am on a budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) any feed back on these would be great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Dave |

I tend to use the "Pareto principle" these days:
80% Street 20% Track - The new rubber systems are the ones to go with. 80% Track 20% Street - Use a solid bushing that will afford better suspension geometry for track. There are a lot of choices but the Elepants are some of the best. With the advent of new rubber for these cars, that's my first recommendation. I mentioned I'd tell the truth because I think a lot of people on BBS sites talk with their wallet. "It must be great because I just spent a lot of money on it" E.G.: There was a thread here last year where one of the members (who shall remain nameless) was bragging about how sweet the Elephants were and how well they worked, how perfect they were for street cars etc. and how happy he was with his purchase. A month later he ironically started a thread detailing his "installation" of said bushings. Bottom line, he didn't even have them on his car but was more than willing to talk like he did and advise others. Again, I have them (Elephant PolyBronze) on my car and they work "extremely" well and do everything and more that they are claimed to do. That said, I will switch over to the Elephant rubber one of these days. There's a subtle "compliance" as you enter a driveway apron or tag a slightly lowered manhole cover that you miss with hard bushings. That said, the Elephants and Freemotions etc. allow the suspension to move freely with no binding. As mentioned herein... choose wisely. QUOTE are you referring to the Neatrix bushings? It looks like that's what "they" call them (I think that's a name that Performance/Automotion coined for their bushings... same goes for their DayStar bushings... the call those Neatrix as well) but those are URO rubber bushings that are widely available now. I'll have to check the shelf to see if I have them. I think that would be your best bet for the money. |
