OK not that Im complaining cuz this is kind of part of modding a car. But I just finished my tubular a arms w derlin bushings, nice but very harsh and noisy in the car. Is polyurithane going to be a little softer? Or should I try to get stock bushings and see if they can fit into the tubular a arms?

Its just every time I hit a bump its just so noisy under the dash and I know its because of those bushings. Im just exploring my options sinse 95% of the time this is a street car if you guys get my drift.

So you guys with Tubular K members Tubular a arms and coilovers chime in here....Thanks:D

your not going to hear much difference. ive had all the bushings possible in my k frames over the years and they all make noise. they are mostly the same until you get to heim joints..omg they are awefull..had those on a QA-1 k frame..never again..but i still have them in the rear and they drive me nuts:eek:h:

coil overs are a big cause of it too..

you will get used to it :D

maybe you should get some good coilovers, are you running MM?
I run stiff MM coilovers on custom valved Bilsteins and delrin bushings f+r on a stock k.
the only thing I thought put the car over the edge were the aluminum diff bushings, holy carp.

Strange coilovers on a stock bilstein shock. I think strange is pretty good quality.

I mean dont get me wrong there is going to be road noise I can accept that, the ride is actually stiff and the car feels like one piece of machinery now. But its every time I hit a crack in the road I get this thump under my dashboard and it sucks. I guess this is something I have to get use to.....
