Items installed:
1. Upper control arm bushings
2. Lower control arm bushings
3. Lower shock bushings
4. Upper shock bushings
5. Outer front control arm bushings
6. Inner front control arm bushings not yet installed.
I rate the installation process as moderately easy. The most difficult part will be the removal on the stock bushings from the control arm brackets. This really requires a press in my opinion so if you can acquire some brackets with the bushings already removed, please do so. Brad Schaffner sent me brackets on an exchange basis which made it easy for me. If any one needs any installation tips that will make the do it your self project much faster and easier, email me when you are ready to do the project.
Impressions - the difference is like night and day. I really did not think there was anything wrong with the stock set, but after installing the new poly bushings I now realize how soft and mushy the stock ones were. Steering response is now immediate and feels extremely tight and solid just like a true sports car. This is another highly recommended & worthwhile suspension upgrade in my opinion. All I need now is to install the inner sway bar poly bushings and have Brad send me some steering rack mount bushings once he gets them in stock again. Try them out and you will feel the difference.
