By the way, to answer another posters question, IMO the adjustability on these are greater (easier to adjust) than any of the others currently on the market.

If you have a technical opinion, please give a technical answer. I can't rely on such statements to make a educated decision.

i can't wait until i can get my z on the track one of these days. the z is so much fun to drive and now that i have coilovers and sways the car just handles beautifully and is still a great daily driver too. i would love to see what it can do at the track and in the twisties. looking forward to the vid...rw...out

Could you tell me the benefit of the mono ball insert vs. re-using the stock insert? (I saw previous posts asking about this and responses - but I wasn't sure if the responses were addressing this question or another one).

Thanks.

The mono ball inserts are basically solid bushings with smooth operation. They will allow for more percise suspension inputs.
The OEM rubber bushings will have more wind up and allow for more flex during supension travel.

You going to offer these with urethane bushings? I've heard that the stock rubber ones tear when trying to press them out.

We ahve a ltttle tool we can provide to get the OEm bushings out. We have had good success removing the OEM bushings......
We also have Delrina dn are working on PU bushings for them.
The mono ball inserts are a nice pce.
The first kits coming in all have the inserts pressed in them allready.

Great job! Do you by any chance know what the degree of negative camber was that you guys ran? Any other alignment settings. Just curious.
