rear toe link setup advice requested
 
I have had a complete set of Jimlab's Unobtanium suspension bushings sitting on the shelf for a couple years. (too busy/lazy to install) I sent my Koni rear shocks away for rebuilding, so I will be installing them in my coil-overs soon. While I am in the mood, I am thinking about modifying the rear toe links to reduce wheel hop on burn-outs. I am trying to decide whether to just purchase toe links from Mazdatrix with either the Mazdaspeed hard bushings or the solid Heim joint type or to go thru pressing out the old bushings and installing the Jimlab bushings. Has anyone used the Jimlab bushings in the toe links? Did it fix the wheel hop problem?

The two places they work best (hindsight being 20-20) is in the differential mount and the rear trailing arms (not toe links).

FEED made spherical (pillow ball) bushings for the toe links and trailing arms with rubber O-rings to protect the inner bearing surface, but I'm not sure if they're still available. I waited over 6 months for mine, way back when. :)
