Has anyone installed MM's upper and lower CA bushings? Someone posted you needed to change springs if you use them.

How much of a pain is it to install those suckers?
I did the IRS bushings, so I can probably handle the UCA/LCA install. An alignment is probably required afterwards too, right?

I would be cautious install urethane at pivot points. They have problems with heat, cold flow, and squeking which does not go well with pivot points. I have Delrin LCA and UCA bushings and they made an amazing difference on my car. With the Delrin you are really have to change out the stock shocks for Bilstein 00R shocks to keep from being underdamped because they make the rear much more dynamic.

are you running otherwise stock springs? i was intending to switch over to 00r springs and struts and simply get the rears revalved stiffer. not too many data points yet on the full delrin setup.

No. I am running substatially higher spring rates then stock 425 Ibs/in coil-overs in the front with MM race struts and 650 Ibs/in coil-overs in the rear with the 00R shocks. I would not switch the stock struts for 00R struts. Per Maximum Motorsports they have a poor dampening rate especially when compared to the 00R shocks. They said that they believed it would be cose to the stock 03 struts, but did not have time to fully test them yet. This was over a year ago so you might want to give them a call to see if this is accurate. Are you going to have the rears revalved higher then the 00R shocks? What do you mean by data points on the delrin setup?

ToFast4U, What was the amazing difference!

not too many people are voicing their opinions regarding the delrin bushings yet. i'm collecting other parts and intend to do it all at once.
in other threads you mention that freeing up the rear suspension with the delrin bushings makes the springs more efficient thus requiring stiffer shock valving. ok, so for a given spring rate, wheel rate increases. do you have a number for this increase? exactly how much stiffer do i need to go with the shock valving? i'd honestly prefer to run the stock springs but fatter anti-roll bars, rather than increasing spring rate.
