The only rubber in my car is in the weather stripping, trans support, and tires. I finally got around to installing delrin bushings in the rear along with delrin diff support and aluminum front diff bushings. The uppers are Bruce's and the lowers I think are the older style Max Motorsports, I'm not sure, I bought them off here about 5 years ago! The install isn't that bad, just time consuming, you have to take the whole rear end apart. I HIGHLY recommend doing the subframe, control arms, and diff at the same time. I did not. I did the subframe years ago and previously did the diff with poly. The rest of my suspension mods are coil overs, flsc, rear shock tower brace, tubular front a arms with poly bushings, front bump steer, al steering rack bushings, x2 ball joints, poly sway bar bushings, solid rear end links, poly front end links with billet supports, cc plates, and I think that is it.

Yeah I haven't used a rubber in years, it's so much better when you take the rubber off




The suspension that is!!! Lol

Good for You!!!!!!

Mine got done in 2007.

This summer I'm doing MM solid AL diffy mounts, which I've had NIB since 2007.

I Still want solid rear toebar/bumpsteer and solid steering shaft.

If you ever need a differential or change gears, look into the Detroit true trak, it tweaks the IRS up a notch.

Enjoy!!...CO too!!...Nice

EDIT: AND the BB/stroker!!!..very nice!!

Just put in MM front swaybar bushings and MM front endlinks. I have some steering rack bushings waiting to go in. I'm loving the lack of rubber in the front and can't wait until I move to the back.

I have a set of control arm bushings sitting in the trunk waiting to go in. I'm waiting to get the FTBR toe links and the rest of the stuff to swap in my Level 5's. Then I think my IRS will be done.

The toe links and half shafts are easy to get to, but I can see why you'd wait. I still want to get the toe links, some 03 shafts, and a Torsen diff. Then my rear will be done. Oh, and the spherical bushings on the spindle. Mine look like crap.

I want to replace the hub bearings and cross axis joints while I have everything apart. With over 100k on the parts I want to replace them before things fail.

From what I understand there are two Torsens that sit either side of the Detroit in terms of ratios. Torsen 2:1, Detroit 3:1 and Torsen 4:1..1/3, 1/4 and 1/5. The Torsen 4:1 is the best.
