Best Mono ball control arm bushings for a C5 Z06
I am looking to upgrade the poly bushings to something more rigid and allowing the correct freedom of movement. Which bushings are the best The LG, the DRM, I am a bit afraid of the AFE bushings with the issues with the past pfadt parts. This is on a autox/ track day car, not a driver, but reg and inspected

We'll be doing our monoball kits within the next couple of weeks. Just waiting on a shipment of 100 bearings from Radial Bearing. These are the best bearings available on the market. For the first few customer kits we'll be doing an a full arm replacement. You send me your arms, and I send you a set of arms fully glass bead blasted and cleaned up, with the monoball bushings already installed. Initial price is gonna be $2000 for this service. So I'm confident in saying you will not find a better kit for less money. Let me know if you'd like more info.

I don't know the best kit since I've only ran Pfadt. I can say you can still get parts from aFe for the kit. They over-nighted replacement bearings to me a few weeks ago. It is an awesome improvement. Install price from AMT is really good, assuming bearings are equal and/or better than Pfadt. My guess is all 3 kits are good.

We use the same bearings that the Whelen IMSA team has been using for years. From someone who works with the team I was told they replace maybe one bearing per season. I don't think you can get much better than that. On the contrary I know people who have had to replace Pfadt bearings after 2 weekends. Don't know who they were using as a supplier at that time or who they're using now. I can tell you that my price for 100 bearings is $18.50 each, so they ain't the cheap ones.

Sorry, I'm not going to be sending parts out for a self-install for awhile. I want to install some in a bunch of arms myself first so I can get a better idea of what tolerances GM holds in the control arms. I don't want to be sending kits out that don't fit as well as they should, and then have people screw up the parts or the install and then say " the AMT bushing kit is crap."
