Bushings

Hello everyone,
I'm doing some research on the Unobtainium Bushings for the FD3S.

Any complaints? Pros and Cons of the product? Is there anything about the product that you would change? Is it priced to high? Is there a need in the RX-7 community for other aftermarket bushings? Did they use the best material for the application?

Thank you.

They require you to disassemble the suspension.

Noticeably tightens up the suspension but adds some ride harshness.

Nope. It is what it is.

Anything that isn't free is priced too high If you compare the price of the Unobtanium to stock parts you'll find the Unobtanium to not be expensive at all.

No. If you want "cushy" you can stay stock. If you want maximum performance you can go Unobtanium. If you want in between you can buy the Mazdaspeed bushings through Mazda Motorsports. 3 flavors is plenty IMO.

That's a loaded question as you could argue a bunch of points but the Unobtaniums are nylon and stainless steel. Good materials for the goals in mind.
