Boylan Performance Trailing Arm Bushings?
Anyone used or seen any of these bushings in action?

Based on what I can see in the picture, you'd be better off with the spherical bearing ones than those.

Re: Boylan Performance Trailing Arm Bushings? (CARMandP)
Boylan is a new product line name to the US out of Australia. The bushing shown in the photo looks very similar ot the Prothane bushings that I have on mr CRX SCCA roadrace car. I have been very happy with the Prothane units so far and much prefer that design to the ES system.
I have not seen the Boylan products in person yet but had heard about them roughly two months ago when the owner of one of the KONI authorized service centers for whom I have a lot of respect mentioned that they were signing up to to be one of the new Boylan dealers. Their site is http://www.performanceshock.com/ ant the have the Boylan products newly listed.
If you are thinking about spherical beaings for your racecar (not a good idea for street car based on excessive NVH and wear issues), make sure that the trailing arm bushings allow for some side to side motion required. for non-binding motion. When I last looked for sphericals for my racecar, I did not find any that allowed the side to side motion. The Prothane and now the Boylan do.

Re: Boylan Performance Trailing Arm Bushings? (CRX Lee)
Thank you. That was the information I was looking for. I recently started selling the Boylan Performance products myself and was interested in what people thought of the design. I have a set myself and have taken them apart to inspect. The bushing is solid with the floating metal pin in the middle of the bushing. The pin is held in with large metal washers and c clips on each end. I am looking forward to getting a set installed on my car as soon as I can get the 85mm larger size for the older integra.
