doesn't really matter because our suspension setup doesn't work well with pillowballs

Is that a bad thing? Some one care to explain these....pillowballs?

 

Think of it this way - with pillowball mounts, you'll get an extremely harsh ride but works well on the track. Without it, you'll have a better ride on the street.

 

the bushing that is at the top of the shock/spring assembly is basically replaced by a ball joint i think. the balljoint allows the shock to move more freely as the suspension travels up and down. the bushing fount on the factory setup obsorbs bumps,vibrations, and keeps the suspension in allignment.

 

Ah I see. So many smart people. It almost feels wrong learning so much here. LOL! I can't believe this is free.

Anyway not than I'm planing on building an ultimate track machine, but just out of curiosity.....why don't they work well in our cars?
