Are these stock bushings that you are installing?

Im really interested in a review too. I'd love to have sharper steering. My cousin's S2000 makes me jealous every time I drive it.

The van steel kit is a very easy install and is well designed. I did my complete install in 5 hours. The car will have much improved steering response but will be noticeably harsher on rough roads. The slotted uppers are a nice added feature for caster adjustment.


When installing make sure there is no bind on the metal sleeves to the delrin.

What/how did you get them that clean?

I am in for this. According to their website, you can send the control arms in for chemical cleaning.

Are people doing the entire kit?

Whis9

Front and rear, rubber bushing move so much, I was shocked


Old fashion elbow grease

Scrubbed them down in tank and very mild wire wheel

I spoke to Ride tech a few months ago at Carlisle and the first suspension mod the suggested I make was their Delray bushings due to the fact the factory rubber bushings "deflect or vibrate" especially while cornering.

Brass wire wheel in a drill works well and is quick. If youre real picky about how the undercarriage looks, you can clear coat the parts after the cleaning. It'll get dirty but easy to clean and no more oxidation

No need for a blow torch or heavy grunt work! Nothing like a Made In America Wilton vice to show the rubber bushings who's boss! The guy at Borg Motorsports needs to have a look at this approach. He's doing it the hard way.
I am curious about the Loctite?

Rock on!

Whis9

Loctite is for loose fitting bushings

tolerances for these arms are fairly large

all the bushings are CNC machined to a tight tolerance

Pretty cool! In for reviews/impressions after install.

Whis9

Will do
Winter here so will 3-4 months

MTPZ06

Yeah, I know what you mean...it dipped down to 68* here late last night. People had to break out their hoodies.
