what bushings to get?

hey all i just order the energy suspention bushing kit from summit and wanted to know who else make the rest of the bushings i will need to complete the major upgrade? i would like to get a hold of diff mounts, subframe mounts, the works!

the car will be only a fun car for the summer so a bit of noise is ok but dont want it to loud.

i hear good things about derlin as a material. is this a common materail for mounts? what is the advantage of this stuff other then it is a harder mount? does it last longer, take a better beating?

links are good and reviews are better. let me know.

thanks alot.

MazdaSpeed makes DuPont Delrin bushings for the earlier models. I am doing a group buy for the FDs right now.
What year do you have?

There are lots of reviews on Delrin bushings in the last 40 to 50 pages of the group buy.

Mazdatrix has both delrin and polyurethane for the FC available.

I would think delrin would be quite uncomfortable on the street. I hear polyurethane alone is fairly stiff. I can't give any driving experience on it yet.
