Front Control Arm Bushings

Anyone know if there is an RX7 vendor that sells stiffer than stock rubber front control arm bushings? I swear I was at a site the other day where they had a whole assortment for the 2nd Gen. They started with stock rubber, then stiffer rubber, urathane, delrin and solid.

Thanx

Call energy suspension and order them. Energy suspension sells a bunch of polyurethane bushings for the rx7 and the front control arms are one of them. I actually just put mine in today interestingly enough. They're definitely a lot stiffer than stock, kind of a pain to get the stock ones out, though.

Thanks for the responses, but I'm not looking for polyurethane. There was a company (I think it was called ______ Racing) that had stiffer than stock, rubber bushings. I have poly bushings on my first gen, and they are stiffer than I would like...

Mazdaspeed, the racing division of Mazda, makes rubber bushings that are 40% stiffer than the stock bushings. If you're interested, I have a new set of Mazdaspeed bushings that I'm willing to sell. I bought the Mazdaspeed bushings for my 90 GXL, but decided to put in PU bushings. If you're interested, PM me.
