Default Which Poly Control Arm Bushings?

When ordering poly bushings for T1 sways from VB&P I noticed they offer a poly control arm bushing kit, much like pfadt's. Is there a consensus on if one of these two mfg's kit is desirable over the other? Just trying to do things right the first time.

thanks,

Chris

Our polyurethane kits are designed from the ground up to be the easy to install and maintain while providing excellent performance. They include custom machined and Teflon coated center sleeves to keep long term noise to a minimum, as well as a high quality marine grade grease which resists break down due to the elements as you use the car. We now include special fitment instructions on how to properly fit the front uppers to prevent any commonly seen push out issues from happening on track that are seen with both rubber and poly bushing replacements.

If you need want to make the move to polyurethane we do offer the best kit on the market.

I have installed both for customers, Pfadt for sure. It's a better kit for a few reasons.

Pfadt also supports NASA racers with contingency (something NO other corvette vendor does) so buying from them is a no-brainer

2nd the pfadt. The kit is very complete. Youll notice a huge diference in the handling. If you do the work yourself, its one of the best improvements for the money.

BTW RPI sells them the cheapest

I installed the Pfadt kit on my Z06. One of the best mods I have done. Recommend it.

Pfadt. I installed them in wife's car and mine for the track. Very easy to install, excellent handling after. It'll be harder getting the old bushings out than getting these in.
