guys ive just ordered 1 new front and rear sub frame bush..

im just waiting to pay for them and receive them.

then taking them to either whiteline or kmac to see if they can belt some nulerthane ones out for us..

an idea on who would be interested would be good so i can show there is a market for these.

[/b]
Dude why'd you take my idea, lol !!!!!!!!!!!! You know I was going to do it too.

You already know I'm interested. It'd be sick if whiteline did it and made a kit available. I'm really interested in finding out what whiteline and kmac can do price wise.

What grade poly are you planning to have them cast in? I was thinking something a lot stiffer then regular automotive poly.

hi mate,

sorry, but since the bushes from mazda were available here i thought id just do it since i could get them..

front bush was $103, rear bush was $36. i also got original power steering rack bushes while i was at it..

im going to tell them as stiff as possible due to our issues with the originals and feeling the member "walk" when you put coil overs on..

i will have the originals soon and ill go see the manufactureres..

Cool you got the right idea. The rack bushings are the ones that are going to make the most noticeable difference imo.

You got all the bushing I was planing to get except the pivot bushing for the rear sway bar links.

As stiff as possible for sure because I'm sick of trying to push the HC though corners hard and feeling like its going to rip in half. That's way I wanted to get it done and the fact that I'm going to end up doing something with my suspension soon. I just feel bad that I'm not going to be the one that does is first. Well if it doesn't work out for you then at least there is someone else that is serious. Right now it's more impotent for me to put my car back on the road which is more of a matter of lack time not money.
