    Bushings

    I am going to be doing FCAB and RTAB

    The RTAB are going to be UUC, the question I have is with the FCAB.

    I am debating if there is a real big difference between Heavy Duty or the Polyurethane.

    I have stock on my car which are "NO BUENO" but wondering what the difference will be from those who have had them on their car.

    I will add that I wont be Auto X-ing my car,as it is my DD. I do spirited driving every so often but nothing major.

    I'm gonna move to maintenance....

    I noticed a huge difference in road comfort between the Meyle HD and the UUC urethane bushings.

    I went went with the Heavy Duty and like them a lot. I heard mixed things about the polys. Some think it yields too harsh a ride. Don't know for sure as I never used them but the HDs are good.

    I went with OEM front bushings due to the car being my DD. The vehicle already feels every imperfection on the road and adding anything other than OEM would make the ride stiffer/harsher. It just depends on what end result you are after.

    Sorry should have specified a little more.

    I am lowered on H&R race kit. I am looking to upgrade for comfort. The suspensiom works great, really looking to stop the clanking noise from bushing being tore up. I have not ridden on polyurethane so I thought I would ask those who might have some knowledge.
