Thanks! Going to 295s all around next season! Still, it was more neutral with the front spherical bearings.Great driving. Needs wider front tires? lol..

If you reffering just the bushings, Rockauto has most of those if you haven't already knew?I would replace all of the factory units that you can. I have a mix of MPP and SPL bearings in my car and while I feel it more on the street they don't make any more noise. The immediacy of steering is much better and when loaded to 1.5g lateral the precision is much better.
The one that I still need is for the rear knuckle in the upper location. I go through the factory bearing at a rate of about 1 per three events. Since I can't buy the bearing itself I have been swapping knuckles. SPL is working on a prototype that I will hopefully have in not too much time.
But they aren't OEM. Not that I have had great luck with OEM, but the chinese replicas are even worse.If you reffering just the bushings, Rockauto has most of those if you haven't already knew?
You talk about replacing all these bushings and having a better handling car, why would you even mention lowering springs and struts?I feel the same as you. A sacrifice from comfort for a better handling vehicle. lol..
My FI 4 cly has a pretty stiff ride on lowering springs and track struts all on 20" wheels with 30 series tires. lol..
Not by choice but because of room limitations.
I am anxiously to find out how all these bushings would perform? Thinking of getting the Koni Yellows with UP lowering springs in the future.

In for a penny, in for a pound and all that. Get a set of MPP or RW coilovers to complete all the work you're putting in.
That would be the ideal setup with coilovers. However I just want a very modest drop and with even on the tallest setting, it is still too much of a drop from past experiences.
3/4" ie. UPP is all I want to lessen the wheel gap. That is the objective.
Koni yellow and UPP springs seems like a good combo?
Not my experience at all. I bought some in a pinch and found out they were dimensionally different than OEMI bought some just to get the dimensions. From my observation, it seems just good as the oem so it seems?
Koni yellows are great with some mild springs. I had them in my previous cars decades ago.That would be the ideal setup with coilovers. However I just want a very modest drop and with even on the tallest setting, it is still too much of a drop from past experiences.

I’d say no. The ball joint is the weak part of that design. I’ve tried those Suspensia parts and you will be replacing them again in 3-6 months.Just curious what you think of these more robust UCA? Is it worth the bouble the cost for the aluminum, 50% for the box steel version over the the flimsy looking stock piece?
I have no experience with Suspensia brand parts, but I’d go with Moog in a heartbeat. Cheaper too.Just curious what you think of these more robust UCA? Is it worth the bouble the cost for the aluminum, 50% for the box steel version over the the flimsy looking stock piece?
RK623788/RK623789 are the lower arms and not the upper one that I was referring to.I have no experience with Suspensia brand parts, but I’d go with Moog in a heartbeat. Cheaper too.

My bad, mistaken for RK 263779/778.I don't think so. Would be nice if RockAuto included a picture.
