Yes, Pro Car innovations. and a good price! I should be getting a set very soon and I'll post my feedback after I give them a try.

 

yes, that is them. Looks like that is the latest design also. I have the very first design and it has worked great. Still going strong!

 

damn the look fancy lol are there any good reviews for them?

 

How are these any better than the ES bushings? These do not allow the arm to move forward or aft.

That's the point. The arm is not supposed to move longtidinally.

These bearings allow the arm to slide along and rotate about the shaft on multiple axes in the intended manner, while eliminating any excess slop.

 

I Bought mines from KIWI.

I've seen these recently, on the JHP site as well, except the JHP site indicates only recommended for racing apps, while the Password site does not.

Any reason i would not want these on a dual purpose car? I am slowly working on my suspension and would like to have a complete balanced system.

 

I'd put htis on a street car in a hearbeat.

I have mine in third season and there is no sign of wear yet.

I not even sure if those are legal for autoX.

 

So we have an okay for street. Is installation like replacing a bushing? Press out old one and install this? I see it seems to have a different way to secure it.

the allen's on the side hold it in. Just put it in then drill the whole out and install the allen with a nut

Thanks for the explaination.
So the only real bad thing about the ES bushings is they restrict the arms "rotational" motion around the shaft?

No, rather the lack of capabilities of misalignment angle.

The bad thing about my ES bushings was that they would bind if I pushed the car too hard. At Roebling Road with the big sweeping turns it was especially bad, I was going at least 20 MPH slower that I could with stock bushings, because if I went too fast then the rear abruptly broke loose. I now have the bushings from Kiwi, much better, and I drive them on the street to/from events with no problems so far.

 

If only it was legal....::sigh::
