Fingers crossed!
awesome, your car is in good hands that's for sure my car has 70k miles and the bushings were shot already, so with 90k miles, unless you drive very mildly on super clean road, i think it's about time. it's for the better anyway

the only "unknown" is that i lowered my car since 30k miles but you are just doing it. after you lower the car you definitely put more stress on the bushings

i guess i'm on the waiting list to wait for u as well then

so... do u buy the daizens and install them into your stuff and ship them to me (after i pay u for labor and the bushings), and then i send mine back (at my expense of course) as cores when i get them into the car?

yup, the labor for the bushings might be high, but overall i say it's cheaper than new arms. and they are a lot more durable as well

Default Ed- count me in line too!

I'm down for the swap program.

Good luck with the z06 this weekend and don't forget to take photos.

I already have my daizen bushings - still in the box. Lemme know where I need to send them and they'll be on their way.

Does getting these bushings removed and repressed into place sound like a job for a machine shop?

is Ed not allowed to do something like this???

If that's the case, I'll just go ahead and have my local shop do it.

Under discussion right now. Lots of factors for him to consider in taking something like this on as well.
