    So delrin is the way to go then? How should I best lubricate them? I still have a huge pipe of lucas red n' tacky from my camber plates. Can I use that?

        Delrin is technically "Self lubricating". I did use some grease on the inside of the metal insert though

        I'm not sure if it's how you want to go. streetable would be 80A not delrin. If you want hard for that herra frush, go aluminum everything and delrin for the trailing arm bushings. Might as well get the akg raised subframe solid mount kit.

          Where is the best place to find the delrin TABs? On turner they are 100$

          I also already have treehouse cabs and ground controls with the race camber plates. Since I already have no rubber up front how much harsher can it actually get?

            Turns(no pun intended) out the turner ones are urethane and IE doesn't sell delrin tabs either.

              A lot. You feel NVH from the rear a lot more than you do from the front.

                I forget where I got my 75d trailing arm bushings. I think I got everything from akg.

                  This is true. Your subframe isolates your differential,etc. from the chassis and that sucker makes a lot of NVH.

                    So if im already going 80A SFBs and MZ3 diff bushing then delrin TABs wont make it much worse?

                      I wouldn't think so, since the NVH from the TA's will still have to go through the subframe.

                        I've run an entirely AKG 75D rear end for 35,000 miles over the past 2 years. It isn't harsh.

                        75D transmission mounts, however, are ridiculous.

                          IMO 75d is the only real upgrade for the trailing arms. Anything less will bind or be stock rubber. I'd love a spherical bearing upgrade to be within simple price range tho.

                            AKG only has 75d polyurethane. Should I get that or look for 75d delrin?

                              I have the poly akg ones. I dont' think anyone actually makes the delrin version.

                                Ahh okay. So those would in fact need to be lubricated correct?
