^ Steve, you can keep quoting other people's testimonials who probably are only using their car for race all you want. Be honest bro, even the others who are using them for street will eventually find themselves with rattled out teeth and eyes like the monster dude on your ad. I have 2 of your bushings, good product, but I dont give a damn what you or anyone else says, those things are DEFINITELY RACE ONLY!!! Please sell them that way. Just tell everybody: Delrin "RACE ONLY" bushings for sale. Its so simple. I'm not trying to shut your business down or anything man, I'm not a hater. But I'm just saying, anyone who says these are "streetable bushings" are just straight up lying or dont know...yet.

You aren't still mad at me because I wouldn't sell you some Delrin bushings are you?

You haven't even installed them and you're now an expert on them? Good grief, get real...

Unlike you man I hold no anger towards anyone who did anything bad to me in the past. Forgive and forget man, try it sometime. And you didn't even do anything "bad" towards me, you just didn't want to sell me some bushings for whatever childish reason and I got them from someone else, simple. As far as I see it, you and I can be best buddies. Now with that said, you're right I didn't put them on the diff yet, but my buddy did and he said his diff literally DOES NOT MOVE....AT ALL. You're right I'm no expert on them. And you're right they are very well made. But as far as I know bushings are supposed to give a little, call me stupid I guess. Everyone I spoke to who has them on a street car wishes they got the poly. A RX7 shop(I wont name names) even SEVERLY warned me not to get them because they see customers with them on a street car and the car rattles till kingdom come. Thats why I got them for the diff only, keep the diff in place with no brace(one less performance part to buy). But like I said before, these things are hard as hell and in my opinion and research, they are RACE ONLY bushings. Very good RACE ONLY bushings I might add. If I was building a race car I would definitely put them on the entire suspension. But of course I would have to buy them from someone else huh Steve...lol. I'm just saying they should be sold that way, as "race only" bushings, and not dual purpose bushings. But I'm not the one selling them, and like you said I'm no expert, and I guess I cant give my opinion. Oh my bad, this isn't the "opinions, research and experiences" of poly vs delrin thread? I'm sorry, okay then, basically; Buy whateverthehell you feel like guys...have fun!!!

No comparison... One material is commonly used as a suspension bushing upgrade and is proven to work well. One is not. There are a few places on our suspension that can benefit from zero flex bushings though. And race applications are a different ball game as well.

For research you could do a search on Delrin and Cobra Mustang. Cobra owners have been using both types of bushings for several years on heavier cars with more HP. Here is a quote from one magazine article on Delrin bushings as an example of what you'll find.

The stiffer bushings were readily apparent on our first ride and drive, but we noticed no increase in noise or vibration. Some gratuitous smoke-shows let us know that axle windup/wheelhop was a thing of the past. Whether you want better handling or need to replace your worn IRS components, the Maximum Motorsports IRS packages have everything you need to make it work like it should.
