IRS bushings n shit

[Shaggy]

maybe someone can clear this up for me. on the MM website they have 3 different "packages" for IRS bushing and shit. the first and cheapest is $500 and the description is "upper and lower control arm bushings" now steeda sells "control arm bushing" for $80. WTF is the $420 difference!?!?!

Thanks to anyone who can help. all i want to do is get rid of wheel hop for as cheap as possible.

MM also has bushings for $79.95 They are urethane like the Steeda ones.

If you want Delrin from MM, thay are $498.68 like you said.

Delrin = Harder and machined bushing.
Urethane = More compliant and injection molded.

I would go urethane if your goal is to reduce wheel hop on the street and @ the drag strip. Delrin is more for the open track guys like Shelby.

Also consider stiffer springs and firmer shocks for the IRS. They should do more help than just about anything else.

so the only difference is the material? is it realy worth $420 more?

Like I said, depends on what you want to use your car for. With just an end goal of reducing wheel hop go w/ the urethane. Not as good as Delrin, but nearly as good from your standpoint.
