Spherical Rear Bushings

[Twirkin50]

Just curious who's all running these and how you like them. What difference did you notice using these and what makes them work better than the softer poly bushings.

Thanks for the info!

poly bushings will bind your suspension, not allowing it to articulate properly. I highly recomend the sphericall bushings, as they allow the suspension to move freely....

I think poly's are fine for the majority of cars out there. Unless you're running deep in the 10's or quicker i'd spend my money elsewhere. There are plenty of cars with just aftermarket control arms and shocks running consistant low 10's. Been there, done that. It has always been my contention that heads up racers and guys running 9's and quicker are the ones in need of GOOD aftermarket suspension systems.....auto guys that is. Stick cars need it a lot sooner because they shock the tires so much harder at launch. But some guys like to spend a lot of money on suspension first and use it as a platform to build off of. I guess it all depends on your personal preferences.

Would the soft poly ones work similiar to keep the binding down?

I had to get some because the rear end was moving side to side & I would get tire rub under power sometimes. I would say if you are going mid 10's or faster I would look into them.
are the rest of your bushings solid in the rear sus?

I have BBK upper and lower control arms with poly bushings.

I use D&D Uppers and Lower with Sperical Bushings. I don't run 10's though.

I just added Sperical Bushings late this year, and I found that they really helped in weight transfer.
And you cannot tell they are in the car on the street.

Thanks for the replies, I will be ordering some.
