lol i heard that the poly bushings on the uppers were a no no cuz they cause binding or something... idk what i should do..

do you think i should just put the lowers on and keep the stock uppers or just put them both on?

i have a mostly MM setup onmy 90 LX.
rear lower control arms, rectangular full lenght subframe connectors, adjustable rear sway bar, panhard bar, torque arm & coil overs (with Bilstines), tubular A arms, CC plates and bump stop.
if you call MM they will tell you what you have to have and what you should do. NO GUESSING.
i built mine a little at a time, but i always called their tech and ask a hundred questions before i spent my $$$$. this stuff cost too much to find out what you have doesn't work well with something you just bought. i am very happy with the results. i built it for track work, but it is a kick at the drags too.

you don't want to install poly bushings in the rear end housing eyelet portion... other than that it 'll be fine

what did you use for the housing eyelet? cuz that bushing doesnt come w/ the control arms correct? should i use what is on there already or go buy new replacements? or what?

sry for jacking the thread btw.. i want to get the panhard bar too but thats just not in the budget currently..

after this suspension install the motor is next.

I still ahve the stock bushings in there....I've read many articles and seen on Horsepower tv where they have gotten better results by doing such..... although I soon may replace my stock ones as they are kinda old with a new set of stock ones
