I have a '94 Touring and have a complete set of Unobtanium bushings installed. No way are they too hard. This is a performance car anyway, but I honestly did not notice any significant increase in ride harshness. Maybe my old bushings were just way worn, but I actually think that the ride is smoother than before. Meaning that when taking hot laps through twisties with bumps through turns, it feels very secure and ride comfort is at least equal. Wheel hop on drag type launches has almost been elminated, reduced by at least a factor of 10.

I drag raced my car two times with horrible wheel hop and decided I could not run again until I cured the wheel hop. The pettit complete rear launch kit really helped me with the holeshot by almost eliminating wheel hop.An adjustible shock set to softest will also help along with the launch kit.

I just installed Pettit trailing arms...
Next to buy is the toe links...
I inspected the Toe links when I was under the car and found them to be very loose....I guess the rubber is worn out on them..
