Ok guys, what suspension bushings/bearings should I be installing?
Options: Poly Graphite (soft/hard) Delrin Bronze Needle bearing Most importantly what kind of life can one expect from each of these options before things start getting sloppy from wear? Since the car is dual purpose I am interested in ALL the pros & cons of each. Car: (to give an indication of my personality type) Dual purpose currently set up with: 21mm torsion bars 19mm adjustable front swaybar Koni sport yellows on medium 180# rear springs 911 vented A's on all 4 corners 225's on 7" front and 245's on 8" in rear EFI turbo 1.7 to be replaced with 2.7 six (once it's finished) -Ben |

If cost is a factor stay with the plastic bushings, they are pretty cheap. Bronze and Mueller bearings cost $$$.
With the plastic bearings make sure you get the supplied grease! Geoff |
