whoopdie f'n doo. I was just pointing out that no, "the same can't be accomplished" by modifying a poly busing. Deflection may not matter to you, but to a lot of class racers it does. Since you aren't one, you don't get it.

oh I forgot, only class racers get it.

FYI, one of the best stock/super stock builders in the country disagrees with you.

Wink Re: control arm bushings for 1st gen camaro

Ed did u just grind off your serrations from the bushing shells? To the other person responding, class racers still use this method that Ed has mentioned.

C.R. no reason to attack someone trying to help. Plus ask Dan fletcher what bushings he was using as u may be surprised.

mannymen knows.

IIRC, there were no serrations on these polygraphite black bushings, Did this back in 2000.

I didn't attack anyone, I pointed out the inaccuracy of his statement, which was "you can accomplish the same thing". It's not the same thing.
