I am now offering Delrin front control arm bushings. I am selling these as a set with the tension rod bushings for $50 plus shipping. I will sell the control arm bushings by themselves to people who have already bought the tension rod bushings.
Steering is much more responsive with these bushings than with the stock rubber ones. All back and forth movement in the front suspension is almost totally eliminated. There really isn't any difference in ride quality though.
Installation is a little more involved on these than on tension rod bushings. You have to burn the old control arm bushings out and reuse the steel outer shell and inner liner. Installation time, start to finish, should take about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you don't wish to use your stock steel inner liners, I offer new stainless steel ones for $7.
Shipping is as follows.
$6.00 in the US
$10.00 to Canada
$18.00 to the UK
$19.00 to AUS or NZ
I'm skipping Ebay this time, so if you want a set, send an email to [email removed]. We are accepting paypal at this time.

I think this should be stickied with all the Bartco stuff!
Man, I am definetly gonna get a set, but I really need to get my motor stuff together first. Look awesome though!
I agree, and so it shall be.
Could you have pic on the actual car? I'm more of a visual learner. :cool:
Hey Radracer, clean out your inbox.
hey, has anyone purchased these?
Any reviews on these bushings?
So far i've only installed the tension rod pieces. Much much better improvment even over polyurethane pieces I had before. Steering feel through the turns is better and the front end feels much stronger and more composed. Haven't installed the front control arm bushings yet and probably won't get around to that until the warmer weather rolls around. I'll update my post with that review in a few months.

I've got them on my car. It helps quicken the turn in a little bit and will also help prevent unwanted geometry changes due to the deflection of the rubber. Mr Bob drove my car when testing them with the rubber busing on one side, and the plastic bushing on the other and he said it was a noticable difference between them. I'd like some of the other people that buy them to give a review though just so there would be a completely unbiased review.
BTW, on the case of the strut tower bars performance, I didn't get to G-Tech it, but it definitely made a difference in the handling of the car at the autocross I was at. The car seemed to roll a lot less, with would make sense because with it distributing the load between the two strut towers instead of one, there is less flex in the tower. I have some pretty grippy tires, so those with lesser tires probably wouldn't notice as much roll reduction since the tires would be limiting how much weight you can transfer.
damn i guess i'll have to get some then
