Best bushings for street and track use

[Beske]

Hello guys,

I'm looking to replace all my suspension bushings and I'm trying to find out what to use. It's not my daily driver but also not a 100% track car, mostly used for fun driving/holidays and a occasional trackday.

My rear suspension is completly worn out, as well as my control arm bushings.

I was planning on doing this:

Condor RTAB,
Condor rear subframe bushings
Condor m3 front control arm bushings
OEM motor, trans and differential mounts to reduce drivetrain vibrations
My swaybar rubbers are allready new (OEM)

Would the condor bushings be to hard for street use?

Also. would it make sense to order the 12mm rising rear subframe bushings, my car is not extremely low but i'm planning to drop the rear a little more. or would it make more sense to go with the weld-in kit for camber/toe adjustment? (or both?)



I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I'm trying to do this right the first time, so I kind of need your experiences ;)

For the projected use I'd say that those bushing will be okay. While either can correct the rear camber gain from lowering the car, the advantage of the weld in kit is that it allows the rear wheels to be aligned.

i would say get the full condor set including the motor, trans, diff and rear subframe set. i daily this set up on ground controls and Ie sways and it is not bad at all. if you use oe motor and tans their going to shear on the track.

OE motor, transmission, and differential mounts won't shear on track even with r-comps if they are in good condition. But they will allow things to move around a bit more than is desirable. In a like manner fresh OE CABS, RTABS, and subframe bushings behave the same.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm probably going with the condor bushings (inlcuding the 12mm kit) and leave the weld in adjusters out. Aligning wont be 100% to the specifications but it will be closer than it is now.

Or would OEM bushings and an weld in kit be better?

I have Condor FCAB's, RTAB's, 12mm subframe mounts, and diff mount bushing.


I will be going back to rubber M3 FCAB's, stock rubber RTAB's, and a different poly diff bushing. It just makes the car more harsh.

Not to mention the fact that the diff bushing is literally sliding out of the diff cover. I'm probably going to get the Powerflex bushing, as it has a lip to prevent this.

I have the Condor offset front control arm bushings and revshift riser subframe bushings and rear trailing arm bushings. I'd say that the condor rear parts may be a bit much but it's really whatever you're used to. I don't mind a poor ride on my cars and I find my setup just fine combined with the regular rate German Engineering coils.

Condor everything., and I couldn't be happier. Motor mounts take some getting used to but the difference is unreal. My car is being built for the track but I daily it at the moment stiffness is sometimes rough, but bearable however, on the track you'll be happy you did it
