Bushings, Replacement, Toe Links, and Trailing Arm help

Quick questions about Rotary Extreme Toe Links and Trailing arms..

Who has them?
DO you like them?
They come with bushings correct? SO no need to buy factory replacement bushing for install?

I'm looking at purchasing them soon as i will be doing a complete overhaul of my suspension bushing.

Since i'll be looking at replacing all the bushings.. i was wondering if anyone has an aftermarket set of bushings they are using...?

The stock bushings with my Mazdacomp discount are 1100$ with new pillow ***** and seals.

FD01-26-220 - BALL,PILLOW-RR LWR ARM (6)
FD01-34-471A - BUSH, RUBBER LWR (4)
FD01-34-461 - BUSH, RUBBER LWR (2)
FD01-34-460B - BUSH, RUBBER LWR (4)
FD01-34-480A - BUSHING, RUBBER (4)
FD01-28-42Y - BUSH,BALL (2)
FD01-26-250 - RUBBER SEAL,RR LWR ARM (12)
FD01-26-230 - BALL,PILLOW-RR LWR ARM (2)
FD01-28-460 - BUSHING,LOWER ARM (2)
FD01-28-8C0A - BUSHING,RUBBER (4)
FD01-28-890A - RUBBER MTG,DIFF. (2)


anything i'm missing?

yah, i've read that thread already.. doesn't exactly answer my bushing questions.. ie.. my list.

I guess another better question to ask is, when do i know i really need to replace a bushing or pillowball?

When they are worn enough that they have slop in them. As for the rubber bushings if they are still original to the car it's pretty safe to say they need replacement regardless. Same goes for the pillowballs.

k well i guess it seems safe to say that they need replacement then since the car has 107000 miles on it.

next question being: the rx7store has a set of bushings.. for 680$.. i'm guessin they are nylon? But they are much cheaper than buying them from mazdacomp...

So which should i go with? any experience with these?
