bushings gone bad?

when i get into my friends 93 rx7 dropped with racing beat springs, it makes a clunking sound does that mean the bearings or bushings are bad? if so, how much does it cost to fix this and what brand to use?

Usually it is the bushings, and possibly the toe links. Right now, just the factory stock is available for replacement. I may have some made later down the line for sale.

My Unobtainium bushings may be available again through an RX-7 vendor in the near future. I am currently in discussions with someone about picking up the "franchise". For details on these bushings, visit the web site below...

Well, the cost of the kit would depend on the vendor selling them, obviously, and the cost of installation would depend on how much work you can do yourself, your selection of tools, or the cost of having a shop near you do the work. Neither of which I can predict for you...
