Surely there is a urethane bushing that is pretty close if not dead on the same size as the other bushings. Can always dress em' up on the grinder to make them fit too.

Jim,

I bought a set from Vicks last year, and just completed the install. No issues, but I haven't had a chance to take the car out, long winter here in Michigan.

Jim, I'm really happy with the IAP red springs with the Koni yellow shocks. I did not have to cut the springs to lower the car and with the 15 inch wheels sits nice and handles great I think. I have the 1" front sway bar as well.

Hey Mark,

What are your thoughts on these guys?

I needed to replace mine and found these on eBay... They look nice and the seller claims no noise issues.

Thanks advance!

Jim - I was on their site last night trying to figure it out...ran out of time and patience :shock:, and since I won't need them for a while yet, decided to pass...hoping somebody else would venture forth hehehe

sorry, I couldn't resist the attempt at humor...I sent them an email to find out if they have an all inclusive kit, if I don't hear from them (5:35 AM Monday there now), I might call them or go to site and do it long hand...

Dave
