I got an email this morning that gmperformancemotor now has like 20 kits in stock, for those still looking to make the upgrade. Hope this helps someone!

Use a CC damn it. Don't miss out on picking some up while they are available. Hold on to them for a while if you need to wait on the install, but at least get them, they aren't that expensive.

Ordered! Not looking forward to the labor, but these are cheaper and better vs BMR imo. Don't want to miss out.

Thanks driven2exceSS!

Glad to help

Seriously once you are done, looking back at the labor around the install, it will not be as bad as you initially anticipated. At least that was the view I had afterwards.

Don't fear the install, Dave. My bushings languished on the shelf for a month or so until i worked up the resolve to do the install. Just drop the cradle completely down and use the two-jawed puller technique to press out the old bushings and the rest is cake. I let my solid bushings cold soak in the freezer overnight also. Probably not necessary, but may be of some benefit.

Thanks for the encouragement! I've struggled with chassis and suspension bushings on some past cars, they can be really stubborn, lol... But I do have a small-ish press and a 2-jaw puller, if the puller worked then I'm not too worried. I'll have to see if I can bring it into a friend's shop to use the lift though, not sure i want to this one on jack stands.

I'm going to take the risk and try to do them with my quick jack. Hopefully I have enough room.

It's not bad on stands but a lift is always nice. You need a stout 1/2" impact gun to use on the puller, it took probably a solid minute or so for each bushing, but they all came out perfectly intact.
