    don't replace the bushes in the top passenegr side trailing arm to the diff at each end, the rest of the 5 link is good. If you want a link on why I can send it.

    I think the best bang for buck might be the anti-roll bars and the 5 link.

    do the whole lot, it'll be the best 300 bux you will ever spend, I've driven an ae86 that has had theese bushed throughout, and compared to mine it was simply amazing, I will be doing this to mine, not sure if anyone else on here does superpros but clemo55 on theese forums is a fulcrum suspension dealer and can get the whole set in for a pretty good price, so give jason (clemo55) a pm and he should be able to sort you out

    curious as to why you sugest that, I've heard various theorys about letting the diff move a little bit, could you please post up that link?

    I re bushed the coupe mid last yr and it was amazing, as tight as a 16yr old .... but now I have upgrades to rose joints at every corner and that is just amazing

    I would also say, generaly you want all of the bushes replaced.

    I didn't do the rear trailing arm bushes on mine yet as they looked ok. Replace the inner lower control arm bushes for sure, but I like the Nolathane ones better. You either need a press or a very strong bench vise and a but of scrap metal in the arm to stop is squashing.

    the desired use of your car will heavily dictate which material you should use for your bushings. chances are the majority of your bushings on your car now are old, cracked or hardened.

    If this is a street driven car I think it is un necessary to opt for poly or nolathane bushings. Sure the response will be great but they have a VERY short life span and can cause an uncomfourtable ride..

    Remember any replacement bushing will feel 100% better than the older ones you are currently running so even factory bushings are a great, not to mention cheaper option..

    I for one am going to replace my older farked out set for a new factory set purely due to the fact that I drive my car every single day..

    I hope this helps ya..

    I thought poly and nothalane lasted longer than rubber?

    same here, I thought poly and nothalane lasted longer, thats why my mechanic recommend me to use super pro as they are last longer, but it's a bit expensive
