Anyone have the delrin bushing kit from Vicks?
Anyone have the delrin bushing kit from Vicks?
I saw the delrin a-arm bushing kit on Vick's and was intrigued--wondering just how much comfort it sacrifices for performance. Anyone been in a car with them installed?

Don't listen to Mark, It depends on what shock and springs, tires, rim size you are running. Go for it! The rubber bushings are for crap.

Well... I say: listen to Mark
There are several different qualities re the rubber bushings around. Stay away from the cheap crap most vendors are selling. Best are OEM or Lada bushings.
The delrin or PU bushings put too much force to the body, I have seen massive cracks in some spiders already - go for quality rubber bushings!
