Default New DRM product

This isn't a new idea but the first time we are selling them mail order.
These DRM Steering rack bushings will increase steering feel. The solid bushings will increase steering feel and get rid of unwanted slop in the rack. The bushings are made from aluminum and are plated black for a long lasting finish. Like all of our products the idea and design came from racing and they work. $37.95 for a car set!

I will do these for sure. Going to Alu rack bushings in my 03 cobra was one of the best mods I did to that car. I'm sure they will be a nice addition to the Z. Great price too!!
