Hey fellas, I wanted to go with the Delrin diff bushings and Poly for the rest because I didn't want to buy a diff brace and I heard the Delrins are stiffer and you dont need a diff brace. I bought the Delrin diff bushings from someone who didn't need them, and let me tell you guys something; GOD DAMN!!! Those ******* bushings are hard as hell. You might as well use steel/solid bushings. I cant believe people are actually putting these "things" on their entire suspension(I say "things" and not "bushings" because bushings should have SOME kinda give). I'm scared to put them on just the damn diff...lol. These are DEFINITELY race only in my opinion. No wonder the Delrin group buy's ad features a monster looking dude with his eyes and teeth rattling out...lol. Good luck to you "Delrin bushings on street car users", I cant knock you, but you guys are crazy.

Another option, which has pretty much no noise or vibration downsides, is the Mazdaspeed bushings set (which are still available despite the fact that most FD Mazdaspeed parts have been discontinued). However, a complete set with control arms, trailing arms, differential, toe links, and anti-roll will be close to $1500.
I have a complete set on my car (with Rotary Extreme toe links instead of the toe link bushings) and they tighten the car nicely.

^Oh, actually I think I have seen those. I remember looking at those when I was waiting for the SuperPros, but I didn't get them for some reason, I don't remember why exactly. Eh, I'm extremely happy with my SuperPros anyway.

I already have the SuperPros but I wonder how these compare. Anyone seen them side by side? And what is with the fruity colors? What is wrong with black?

Damn.. For those prices it might be worth a try instead of the stock pillow *****. I did the noltec motor mounts, rx7 store diff. mounts, RE toe link and trailing arms and Tein Flex coilovers this year. The noltec motor mounts have made the car vibrate noticeably at idle. The new diff mounts transmit a bit of gear whine at certain cruise rpms. Overall everything feels better. Going to do the pilow ***** next. G
