Default Delrin Bushing System for C5 Corvettes From Ridetech





C5 Corvette Delrin Bushing Upgrade


If you are looking to get more performance and handling capability out of your C5 Corvette Ridetech has you covered!

With very few upgrades you can turn a C5 into a highly competitive track animal. One modification that should be on every corvette owner's list is getting rid of the factory spongy control arm bushings.
Today's Corvette drivers demand maximum performance without compromise and RideTech’s new direct fit bushing system will leave you with unrivaled control. Our “Direct Fit” technology makes upgrading your bushings a “DIY” breeze thanks to precise machining and included hardware. Now you can take those curves with confidence.

We have done a significant amount of testing on our track and road cars and have seen better lap times and more predictable handling. The delrin takes out the deflection that plagues the rubber bushings.

FEATURES

• Delrin bushing design eliminates control arm shift common with factory bushings.
• Reduction in deflection creates consistent and predictable handling.
• Trunion design captures bushings from both sides increasing strength and rigidity in
upper arms.
• Designed to resist binding at extreme alignment settings.
• Includes new trunions CNC machined from 4130 chromoly.
• No modifications necessary.
• Replaces all 16 control arm bushings.
• Split bushing design for easy installation.

2006-2013 C6 Z06 11519501 $900

If this product is as dialed as the coilovers packages from Ridetech it will be kicking butt!

I've done everything from DD, road course and auto cross on the same setup, only changing external damping adjustments on the T/A coilovers.

This is definitely on my list next!
