I was leaning away from rubber due to the weight of my engine and the occasional track use. Ive heard that Delrin is great for the track but can be overkill on the streets. Have you used it? And how is its street manner? Thanks

I have Del-A-Lum lower control arm bushings in my car, they are one of the best kits out there, and not harsh at all. I have the PTFB upper control arms too. The ride quality has more to do with the springs, shocks, and tires than bushings. If you dont have the money for aftermarket arms or solid bushings, id keep what you have and save up until you do.

i have solid bodymounts, boxed frame and delrin bushings and im very happy with the ride (im running 40 profile tires btw..)

its about the same feel as my moms honda, controlled but not harsh... and i agree with the above, either delrin or high durometer rubber.. poly squaeks!

i actually swapped to PRC light weight upper controll arms wich have steel on steel bushings.. and im still happy
