Re: Del-Sphere/Roto Bushings

they allow the free articulation of a rod end, without the noise, and are supposed to last longer. they are really nice.

if this is a purely street car, its a bit excessive. but fwiw, i bought a set for my 92, but the car is getting to be completely excessive...

They are great. For me they were easily worth the money. For a straight street cruiser/daily driver I'd probably go with replacement stock rubber. For a 100% racecar I'd go with metal spherical rod ends. For anything inbetween I'd go with the delrin joints.

Re: Del-Sphere/Roto Bushings

I have Spohn's PHB and LCA's both with one side poly and one side del-rin. The car is MUCH more predictable in the turns and does not bind up anymore when doing a quick turn.. If it does break the tail loose it grips back much quicker. So as I said, predictability is increased. Don't know about noise as I never had any noise with the poly that I could hear (my headers, cam, gutted cat, and 3" flowmaster exhaust is pretty loud though!)
