    It will be interesting too see how these affect the handling of the car.

    At first I was not sure how to install the bushings, but then I realized I had to remove the inner sleeve and then the bushings could be pressed in.

    I put then in the freezer for 30 mins.

    And with the rose joint links out back the car should feel very different.

    Andre, You live in Canada, why put them in a freezer? Can't you just put them outside for a few minutes?

    You'll notice the difference in good and bad ways. The bad, every bump, pebble, ripple in the road will be felt. The good, very consistent and predicable handling.

    Oh great so Mosport will be even more hellish.

    Mike that would imply I wanted to go outside.

    1 hour to clear the drive way.

    My bushings are solid Aluminum with copper foil wrapped around to give some lube, prevent binding. Frost heaves at Pocono a real problem.

    Too bad about the cold, think about you when I head down to Daytona for the Rolex.
