Hey everyone

At SOC 02 I bought a pair of Powerflex polyurethane outer sway bar bushings from Brad @ the George's Imports tent. What's really nice about his version, is that he includes the bracket for the bushings, so you dont need to remove the stock bushings, and press in the new poly bushings.

Anyway... installed them this morning. Only with a little difficulty in the beginning... which was caused by a really dumb mistake, doh! Without the interuption, total time was about an hour and a half. Jacked the car up, used two jack stands, took off both wheels, removed the stock bushings & brackets, popped in the new ones, etc, etc. You only need one wrench (maybe two) and a big screw driver to remove and install the bushings. Quite easy.

Took the SPG out for a spin a minute ago... an amazingly noticable difference. For $20 I didn't think I would feel anything at all. The car feels much tigher around corners with the new bushings. Improves driver confidence. Also, the 'clunk' over bumps is gone. I took my car on a local back road where I always 'clunk' really hard over a specific bump going 45mph+. Went over the bump doing 50mph today, nothing.

Highly recommended upgrade for anyone if they have a mere $20 and just about 2 hours of their time. Really impressive results.
