How about the PowerFlex Urethane bushings, etc. replacements???

Anyone use the components yet or have advice on which Urethane components are the most important? The whole kit seems pretty expensive.

I'm definitely going to be picking up the endlinks from ECS tuning...

The sway bars come with Urethane bushings. Beyond that I would use factory bushings for a street car. The Urethane bushings are going to have you feeling every little imperfection in the road, so I would advise against it. Just my opinion.

That makes sense, but PowerFlex does tout their components as offering a 'better' ride over stock and longer lasting...so didn't know if that was a common mod around here or not...

I'm looking at getting the B&G springs as well...just want to get the right setup the first time it goes up on the lift...

What components would be recommended to be switched out with the sways at this point with ~60K on the ODO???

With the setup I'm looking at, I'll probably end up going with the KMAC rear kit as well...

Well Id probably go ahead and buy new sway links. Do it right from the start so you dont have to worry about them later on.
