    rear bushing recommendations for DD

    need to refresh by rear suspension on my '89, which is my daily. its lowered on ST springs, so I'd like to use a subframe raiser and offset diff bushing to help correct camber.

    would prefer OEM rubber TABs but poly subframe bushings for ease of install.

    suggestions?

      OEM subframe bushings. Don't even think about poly subframe for a DD. However, go for poly RTAB bushings.

        I have the street akg subframe raiser and trailing arm bushings.
        The combo is very streetable even though the trailing arm bushings are pretty
        much a hard plastic. The subframe bushing is soft.

        The stock bushings are hard as a rock so I didn't notice harshness or any difference FOR REAL.
        No forums hype.

        Don't get an offset diff bushing.
        Get a rubber bushing and these spacers or make ur own.

            poly subframe bushing isn't that bad, the squeaking noises is what i'm trying to avoid.

              I'm probably going oem rubber on tabs and diff. I guess I just need a street-friendly raised subframe bushing

                I have the blue Revshift subframe riser bushings. I don't have any problems with them. I also installed their diff spacers/studs. Makes it a lot easier to get the diff up in place, too, so that's nice.

                  I was actually going to suggest the opposite. Poly subframe mounts so that the OP gets the risers they were looking for, and OEM RTABs.

                  Use the spacers on the diff rather than offset diff bushing.

                    Great advice

                    I ran AKG red on my last street car, worked great. I would only put stock bushings in the trailing arms if you're going to run an RTAB adjustment kit (which I highly recommend for lowered car).
                    Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                      Daily, you say? Do aluminum bushings.

                        I think I've settled on Condor subframe bushings (raised) and OEM RTABs and OEM diff bushing
