So I went a completely different route with my suspension. Everything has been received except for the Hendrix Solid Cradle bushings and RideTech Coilovers, which arrive next week.
I have a question, though, and I see mixed reviews/opinions. Since I will be redoing the whole suspension, should I upgrade the differential bushings to Delrin or just leave the stock ones there as is? Here is my complete list of what I got: SUSPENSION: RideTech HQ Coil-Overs (11500210) Pedders SportsRyder Sway Bar Kit (PED-814095) 1LE Front Sway End Link [driver side] (22842516) 1LE Front Sway End Link [passenger side] (22842515) Z28 Rear Shock Mount [driver side upper] (22836727) Z28 Rear Shock Mount [passenger side upper] (22836734) 1LE Rear Sway Bar End Link x2 (22761221) 1LE Rear Toe Link x2 (22845487) 1LE Rear Lower Control Arm Kit (23484878) Z28 Wheel Hubs x4 (25954415 [RW20-119]) Z28 Rear Trailing Arm x2 (23104900) BUSHINGS: BMR Rear Upper Control Arm Derlin Bushings (BK039) BMR Rear Trailing Arm (outer) Bushings (BK006) BMR Front Bushing Kit [incl.

How low are you planning on going with the coil overs? If LOW, then you might want want to go with the offset diff bushings.
I don't know that I have ever seen what you are planning to do with the car after the suspension upgrades. Even pushing hard on curvy roads, I can't really tell the difference between stock diff bushings and poly. I'm not sure that I would even consider Diff bushings part of an upgraded suspension. |

After I posted that question, Henrdrix called me to update on my order for the solid bushings. They ship on Tuesday. He then asked why I didn’t get the offset differential bushings and explained the benefits. Since my car has 150k miles on it, my bushings are probably pretty worn by now. He also said since the coulovers will lower the car a minimum of an inch+ that the axles will then take on more stress. So, I pulled the trigger and ordered them.
