Bushings and shocks
My bushings on my 93 Z are shot. What does the collective consider to be the best bushings out there? Also, I need to buy a set of Bilsteins for the car. Where can I find some? Thanks.
Roy

Re: Bushings and shocks
Roy I bought my shock bushings from DRM but the last set I saw in poly were on EBay as well. As to shocks the last pair I bought last year Rockauto had. GC

Re: Bushings and shocks
These polyurethane rear spring cushions from Ecklers are the best replacements I've found. They are softer than the other polyurethane cushions out there and hold up well.

Re: Bushings and shocks
For the rest of the suspension bushings for the street you can't beat SuperPro

Re: Bushings and shocks
I was looking at the size of the sway bar and I've seen it showing as 19mm to 24mm. Which is it?
