well, if it's not the vendors' fault, then it must be the manufacturers' fault---that's assuming (correctly, I presume) that you're not doing something wrong in the installation.
so, wouldn't it be helpful to either mention the manufacturer or the vendors---not to criticize them as vendors, but to warn others that the lowering kits don't seem to last? unless you think you've already done that by saying any you buy, other than hardbar which you haven't tried, won't last.

awesome idea i may try that!!!!
I GOT TIRED OF BUYING PINS OVER AND OVER. I MADE THESE OUT OF SELF LUBRICATING UHMW. CHEAP AND NON WEARING. I have had my post taken down previously as they thought I was selling them and IM not a vendor. I am not selling them, just offering suggestion. Caps that go on the facotry pins, they have been on my car for 4 months and no wear thus far. Daily Driver too.
Screw paying up to $40+ a set. And to buy the Delrin ones, seriously this was way easier and alot cheaper and super easy to replace. I just pop the new one on when it wears.. Oh wait.. It hasnt.. LOL
GM and Vendoers listen up!!!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the approval. I am looking at making some more as long as these hold up. So far they held up good. I am looking at pulling them this week or next to take another look. I will definitely keep you in the loop.
I kept the profile low, I keep my car dropped so that was important. No squeaks yet btw, people have asked.. I dabbed some marine grease on to get the party started on them but not enought to cause test alteration. These are made of impregnated UHMW so no need to over kill. Kinda like an oil lite (impregnated bushings) if you will only in plastic form.
If you have interest as some of you do, PM me. I got in trouble as the forum thought I was selling these as a non paying vendor which, was not accurate. Im just some automation guy who saw a better method and since it works, its nice to show em off as simple as they are.
