Default Ready for my front subframe

I've got a 69 Camaro. I purchased a wayne dues front sub a while ago and I'm ready to put it in. I need to buy some new body mount bushings. The car will be at the track for most of it's life when It's built. Any suggestions or warnings? It will most likely see some regular driving around the town... but not much lol.

Get rid of that sub! Many people have had trouble with them, they are very week. I sold mine C5 a month after Wayne closed shop, if you don't sell it please add in some extra support for your safety.

Don't use a 1/2 drop body bushing. Go DSE or Global West or Speed Tech standard height with some new bolts.

We have a brand new alternative to polyurethane, rubber, and aluminum body mount bushings. Our new Delrin body mount bushings (BMB001) are now available and ready for sale. This is an ideal alternative to squeaky polyurethane or corrosion-prone aluminum. They are stock height and ship with new Grade 8 mounting hardware.

I kinda spent a good chunk of change of the wayne dues front sub. It's got the C4 parts on it. I looked around before I bought it, and lots of reviews were good, everyone talked about how much of a genius he was.

Not so much. Some of them, depending on which verision they are need a LOT of work to get them close. And others need more work. We have worked on a few of them and in the end they are better but still very lacking.

The biggest problem is your working with a suspension system that was designed for the engine to sit BEHIND the rack, which is not possible in a C4 set up in a Camaro. So rack position to control arm position is bad at best.

Default 1/2 dropped body bushings

Whats the deal with not using the dropped body bushings? Interference somewhere or?
