CA Questions on Toe Bushings (FD3)

So with tax returns coming in I figured better do the pillow bushing on my FD. Tri-Point recommended I also do the Toe bushings while I'm in there. I found a place, J-AUTO - Bushings, Suspension, Performance Upgrades for Mazda RX-7s, that sells a complete set of pillow bushings with dust covers for around $410. My questions is where do you guys recommend getting my toe bushings? Should I get stock or some after market? This car is pretty much my DD.

SuperPro and Powerflex toe link bushings have been popular choice that doesnt break the bank but I also carry replacement toe links in the suspension section of my website.

Any chance on a package deal or RX7club hook up?

For how small the rear tow bushings are I opted to go with the powerflex through Juan vs buying a complete aftermarket arms with bearings. I can't imagine the small bearings improving my lap times much

Ya, I just want to do the pillow bushings and I'll jack up my car to test the toe in bushings. I don't think I want to replace the entire toe arms.

I always try to keep my prices as low as possible so my customers dont have to rely on sales to save some cash. SuperPro toe link bushings would be the best way to go as theyre a few dollars cheaper than Powerflex. I can give you a discount on shipping since you're local but can't really do much as far as better pricing goes.
