Is this the bushing kit I want?

Almost positive this is going to give me what I need, NAPA didn't have the bushing (my dad works with napa so I've been getting almost all the repair parts for this car at cost, good stuff )

Here's a couple pictures showing what I need:





Here is the kit I was looking at:

Just wanted to double check before I click the button!

Do yourself a favour, if you feel like tackling a rather time consuming job. get the full bushing kit and install them. You will love the improvement. Billy can get you everything you need.

Get it from Billy (ReSpeed) instead of eBay. He is cheaper anyway and its good to support someone who still makes parts for our cars.

Ah! Awesome, I didn't realize you carried them Billy, Just ordered them from your site. The brake kit is outstanding by the way, excellent craftsmanship. I was very impressed when I opened the box.

orion84gsl, It's not as cost effective for me to order the entire kit... I've managed to gather most of the bushings/hardware that I need from NAPA for next to nothing. As stated, my dad is with the company so I'm getting parts at cost.

Thanks guys!

Yep. Billy will always set you up with just what you need. He set me up with a bushing kit containing only the bushings that I actually needed. That was really cool because I was expecting to buy a full kit and then just not use several bushings.

Billy's brake kit is also on my list. Buying the kit is not the problem, it is getting everything else that is needed (wheels, rubber, calipers, etc.). Just got to round up all the parts and then I'll be picking up a BB kit.

Yeah, there's also quite a difference between the brittle **** that I've pulled off and brand new rubber

Polyurethane will come next time around!

I don't know, what class would they put me in if I had someone out back pushing, someone in front holding the nose of the car in the air, and me inside making VROOM VROOM noises?



every bit of the front suspension/steering system is on the ground at the moment!

I'm getting there... Slowly but surely.

I was going to edit my post to add this question, but the forum wont let me!

Billy, I've got my eyes on your V8 swap sway bar... I'm just wondering If I really need it vs the non swap bar. Does the sway bar mount higher than stock or something? I just don't see the need for the big dip in the bar, it seems to me like the 5.0 could clear it...

I have never put a V8 in a first gen. From what we were told the dip is to clear the harmonic balancer.
