Arrow derling bushings

Sup guys?! Am in need of some new bushings and as looking into the super pro but unfortunately they don't make them for the FC. I have been browsing and have come across these bushings made by Derling. My question is has anyone tried them on their car? Here's the link...

Delrin is a material, not a company.

Delrin is pretty much a solid bushing. You can get them cheaper at www.mmr-direct.com

I have just about every mmr-direct bushing, they don't ride super ruff but it is stiffer. I found sway bars to be more rough then all solid bushings.

The one downside to all solid bushings though, is that you will hear EVERYTHING that is going on with your car. The motor spinning, the trans spinning, the pilot/release bearing spinning, the diff spinning....so on and so forth.

I should also mention that around town I run on Eibach springs and Tokico Illumina shocks, meaning I can set my suspension to a cushy ride probably dulling down the effects of the bushings.

Thanks so much for the input, i am going to try to find something that is not as stiff, i'll see how good are the the polyurathane bushings, but if worse comes to worse i'll just settle for those. I got the same set up, but instead of Eibach i got the racing beat springs and sway bars along with strut tower bars for the front and back. My car rides pretty nice... What i need to do is replace the plastic endlinks and take eliminate the toe steering which i'll probably do next...
