    Just looking at auction, did not see the 2 front eye bushings in his picture, did he use them or are they still with the kit? They should be included, unless he used them, would double check when you receive the kit.......

    I did notice that they were not there as well. but I'm not too concerned because my caltracs came with their aluminum bushing. I'll just have to grease it 4 installation

    aluminum bushings...is this a drag car only?
    when I had caltracs on my car I had rubber bushings and they were still too rough riding for me.

    They're the bushing that came with the Caltracs and the guy at calvert said they work on the street. my friend has had caltracs in his nova for 3 years he drivers it all the time.

    just saying, I take 2500-3500 mile trips in my Mav. and they were too stiff for my riding style.
    driving it"all the time" with just short trips may be OK...:huh:
