Just curious if the urthane bushing kits are worth the trouble and 150ish bucks? im thinking they are, but ive never had anything but rubber in all my cars...Ive heard they can squeak really good if not put it right?

For future reference, just turn on the following light...


I would not bother with poly bushings in your stock components. They would help in some locations such as the front "A" arms, but be a detriment to the twisty on the LCA's, UCA's and just not enough gain to be worth it in the end.

I wouldn't do it.

hence the reason i ask! hey jazzer you use poly engine and tranny mounts? i know JayC does

Oh and i c your useing a lightened flywheel? i think. if you are do you like it? how big of a change is it?

My MM's are poly and the trans mounts are stockers. My fly is a billet FRPP and made of cast iron, but a very nice piece indeed.

I opted not to go alum. fly due to net torque loss as I don't run any power adders. I have a CAI and 70mm TB, but that is really it. An alum. fly is a real nice thing if one has the HP/T to back it up, but sadly.... I don't

from what i under stand the torque loss just makes it tricky off idle, for the most part i reaqd an article where they acctually tested same car just swaped that out, ill see if i can find the article, this is drag racing of course, but they made up for the torque loss by increaseing launch rpm like 800?

Correct

One must use a bit more "feathering" of clutch to get off the line. Not a prob in higher HP/T rides, but certainly one in my 245/285er.
