Is it possible to replace all my suspension bushings with solid Pillow Ball Bushings?

This is for a track only car.

If so where can I find these parts?

Thanks in advace!

I know that Feed offers toe and trail PBBs, not sure about other locations. You should PM JimLab, I believe he had them on his car at one point.

A forum member, Bicuspid, had full pillowball bushings installed.
The manufacturer is "Original Box" (imported from Japan). Unfortunately, it seems I can't open the PDF links that are on the website???

Bicuspid hasn't been on the forum in awhile.

Here is the feedback w/ the pillowball bushings installed:

I see.. Just before posting those pics, I've pm'ed Jim about them. I just got a set for my car (Mazda OEM).

Any idea how to order these?

Or where I could look into this??

Thanks again!

The bushings in the picture above are the pillow bushings I bought through FEED, ordered through Rotary Xecret 7. I later found out that they were not made by FEED (still took 6 months to receive them) and that Original Box was apparently the manufacturer (BicuspiD got his through them directly).

I paid about $1,400 if memory serves. I've since sold all of them with the exception of the toe-link bushings.

I'm surprised you decided to sell them. Why did you back out of installing them on your car?

jimlab

I decided to go for a less extreme combination of stock and poly bushings that would reduce road noise and vibration.

Good to hear that Jim! I guess I'll just stick with the stock ones that I already bought.

Yep. Stock bushings rock. Don't know why anyone would want solid bushings on a car driven on the street...

Two words: wheel hop.

Correct. Guess I should have said besides using them in the trailing arms and diff.
