    Does anyone sell an upgraded polyurethane, suspension bushing kit or any kind of full bushing kit you can order to replace them on the car?
    Thanks

    With a desktop lathe it is super easy to cut your own from Delrin”. It makes for a racy ride that is not too harsh for road but shines on track. The mild increase in NHV is worth the performance increase…imo

    Powerflex or Energy Suspension should have them. I doubt you’ll want them though. Delrin is the way to go if you’re willing to do the leg work to make them. Make some 355 ones while you’re at it :).

    these guys have them in stock front and rear. I just ordered the full set. I decided to go with OEM because I heard that some of the aftermarket stuff have problems

    I think the thread is about an upgraded set of bushings, something stiffer than stock.

    Those “upgrades” were actually “downgrades” :). Smart to go OE.

    What did you guys not like about the. “Upgrade” bushings?
    To noisy, harsh? I used all heim joints in my 911 without issues.

    Poly bushings are good, until they squeak. That’s alot of bushings to maintain. Downgrade imo.


    Delrin bushings are supposedly self lubricating. If they are, they are an upgrade.

    I wish there was a Delrin kit, seems there might be a market for that.
    I’d buy control arms with heims if they were available
