I will. The ones I sell use a Delrin bushing and my own sleeves to mount properly. Their rubber bushings fail on the track.

Are the bushings they supply acceptable for daily driver street use? What kind of money to replace with the Delrin bushings and your sleeves at some point?

I don't bother selling with the rubber bushings. The delrins are precise and silent. I sell the arms for 395/pr.

I understand that, Peter, but if you look a couple posts back, you'll see that I already have a set of SPC arms here. Therefore, I would like to know how much to make this upgrade...

$395/pr


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Delrin bushings are some of the easiest things to machine. That stuff turns like a lathe operator's dream. If he can't supply then, I can probably remove the sleeves from yours and pop delrin bushings in without too much fuss.

Thanks for trying, guys.

Supercuda- I already own SPC arms. Not paying $395USD for another set to replace the brand new ones I have here just to have different bushings.

67autocross- Unless I missed it, the only Delrin bushings I saw listed were for the LCAs, not UCAs.

feets- At the rate things are going getting an answer, that might be my only option!

It would have been easier to just call or email me directly. Yes, I can sell you just the Delrin ends for your arms. I assume you haven't put yours in yet?

I made replacement LCA bushings and sleeves to fit larger bolts in my bro-in-law's RZR.

They've held up to a couple years for racing.

Never thought of calling/e-mailing. Duh!

No. I am in the "amassing parts as finances allow" stage of the build...

That's would I thought. The parts they supply don't fit....

I understand that its easy to get feelings hurt, but we are supposed to be grown ups, nobody is perfect, everything can be made better, and if iI don't make a critical comment, some else or your competitor will, and good engineering design is not arm chair engineering, and most manufacturers leave because they find it easier to close their ears then open their eyes. Yes, this is a tough crowd, and running off any manufacturer helps no one, and is never mine nor I suspect anyone else'e intent. Making a better product is. In my case my suggestions require very little effort to implement other then maybe eating at the absolute worst case a little crow and agreeing a slight change makes for an improvement. I don't see the problem. Wanting all glory and no heat for a product is not realistic. We want you to succeed, if you are listening.




Yes, but some don't act like grown up. And just want to rudely impolitely nit pick and over scrutinize any ideas that are not their own.

And refuse to believe there are possibly two ways to get to the same place (maybe even three?).




With such a blistering indictment, and not even few examples in this thread to support the above claim, its hard to assume it has merit.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
