looking for JimLab bushing updates

ok, I've got these things sitting in my closet and it's time to either get off my *** and put them on the car or sell them to a good home

to anyone who has them installed, how long have you had them installed and what are your thoughts? are they worth it, aside from a little extra noise/vibration?

Jim, you are not permitted to comment, ha

I'll buy em..

If you aren't gonna use them. I have tried to get some input on them, but I guess there are not a lot of sets in use. I am redoing all of my bushings end of June, and if I can upgrade then great!. Let me know

You want to know the honest truth (IMHO)? I forget they are there. I just have the rears installed, and just maybe, MAYBE, feel a bit more harshness. Then again, I swapped out the shocks/springs for H&Rs/Koni combo while I was at it - but considering I have heard complaints of this particular combo ride wise (the H&Rs/Konis that is) - there truely is very little more harshness that I can feel. I'm a pretty sensitive person too.

Install was a bit more difficult though, as that I had problems with two of the SS spindles not wanting to spin freely in the nylon bushings like they are suppose to. Blame this on the fact that they are hand machined I guess, and may have slightly looser tolerances. (yes Jim, I made sure they were the correct ones, and even pressed them out and pressed them into the other side ). But otherwise, I did it myself and not too bad.
