Call Maximum Motorsports, their aluminum bushings are pretty nice.

I got the aluminum bushings for free, but I got them for free when I bought my sub frames from this shop. they had a customer that bought the grip box but already had the bushings and subframes=P

They are much more firmer and provide a much crisper feel.

Guys, he asked about polyurethane bushings? Take a look at Prothane. You can find them at stangsuspension.com for a good price. I purchased the complete kit when I got my GMS control arms. I did a partial install at the time and will do the full install after I get out of Iraq. If you're buying UCA/LCAs, most come with poly bushings, so you won't need those.

I have the most of the MM "Max Grip Box". The only Aluminum bushings are for the steering rack, all others are Urethane.

A national champion autocross guy took a few laps in my car last summer. He had one word; AMAZING!.

From the MM website:

Dude, nice pics. That is a sweet set up.Acouple ofquestions though: How is the day to day ride quality and noise? I've been looking at that for a while and I'm curious. Also, how much was the install?

Day to day ride is much better than I Expected... due to the improved geometry of the coil-over springs. Spring rate is the trade you make for pure handling vs ride smoothness. I think I have 350 lb/in springs in front, and 250 lb/in in the rear. I paid a shop to do the install over several different phases, so I'm not sure ofthe exact install cost.... it was easily a few grand. I have had ZERO problems with MM and their products. I with I could say that about other products from other vendors. Actually, FRPP has been good to me too.

My suspension didn't noticibly impact noise... but this did.
