Missing bushing & SAS Review post R&R

I just got the car back last night and I'm happy to report that almost everything has been resolved. The mechanic some how split one of the poly bushings and so he threw whatever bushing he had stocked on there in the interim.

Does anyone know where I can get just one of those poly bushings short of a special order from SAS?


I love these bars. I feel like they literally took 5-10 years off the car. I haven't had the chance to really push the car but it corners very flat. I feel like I don't need to spend as much time thinking about weight transfer through a corner, I just pick my direction and the car goes there without complaining. As an added perk my car doesn't feel like it crashes as much over bumps (likely attributed to the new bushings, my old ones had disintegrated)

Having installed the bars at two different times I can vouch first hand that it's best to do both. With the rear bar alone the car only felt improved when I was past the apex of a corner and coming out on power. Corner entry was still sloppy. Now that the front bar is on I can enter a corner fast and pull through.

I fantastic product, ultimately well worth the punishment I put my self through, the mechanic would see otherwise. Now if there were any way too tighten up the steering, my 240z that I've been driving since the Aero was in the shop has spoiled me with steering feel.
