Default bushings for control arms?

Hey guys,

I am going to be running steeda aluminum non adjustable lower control arms with their adjustable upper control arms. I was just wondering what bushings would be best to use for both uppers/lowers? I believe polyurethane came in both sets...feedback please![/align][/align]Oh yeah, and about setting the uppers pinion angle. Is there a standard degree to set it to or is every cars setup different? [/align]

rubber bushings for the uppers, if you must install uppers...

polyurethane for lowers.

-2 for the pinion angle. and delrin or polygraphite would be the best, your just gonna have to keep grease on the polyurethane to keep it from squeeking and youll be fine.

okay, i wasn't sure if every car's pinion angle would be different or how that worked. thanks...yeah i think im just going to keep whatever bushings they give me in there and stay on top of the grease in case they get squeeky.
