I will use white line whenever possible. Their customer service is awesome. I tore a ball joint boot during the installation and they sent me one from australia for free. That is something I'll never forget.

just installed the whitelines on both my supra and sc. you guys who can do it in 20 min is unreal fast. took me and my mechanic about an 1hr on a lift. banging the stock one out was pita. no idea how someone does it on the ground or by themselves...
steering wheel feels heavier on the supra. didn't notice much on the sc but i have new redline ps fluid so that makes everything light.

If you want Figs poly steering rack bushings;
http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?rou...product_id=104
If you wanna go Prothane, for complete front control arms, rear control arms, steering rack bushings, sway bar bushings;
http://www.prothanesuspensionparts.c...us+SC+400+1995
That aluminum vs. polyurethane bushings argument has been going on for a long time, it's already pointless. If you want to alloy then just get it, if you want poly then just get it.

I got them yesterday and spent some time comparing them with some other poly products I have from more recognized manufacturers and they seem to be good quality.
They have a higher durometer reading than the Spohn products I used on my Camaro so I would be hesitant to use their control arm bushings, but for a rack they should do just fine.
Being a little stiffer they were a bear to install this afternoon, took 2 hours, but the test-drive showed pretty good results.
The original bushings weren't completely gone but they had soaked in enough power steering fluid and oil over the years to make them quite squishy, almost like wet sponges! The car required lots of small corrections going through long sweepers above 45 and when coming to a stop sign with the old bushings, not any more!
