So the front and rear suspension are apart and being media blasted and then will be powder coated. Next issue - bushings. Has anyone used the Elephant Racing Polybronze Suspension bearings? What about the Rear Monoball cartridge? Also, the sealed front monoball cartridge? I know these items are pricey, but they certainly look to be well designed. I would appreciate anyone's comments and experiences. This is for a street car to run yellow adjustable Konis and 100 lb springs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

The one from Tarett replaces the complete top-strut-mount and will allow for more negative camber settings

and WEVO's is -really- nice - investment-cast stainless monoball holders...

i'm -really- looking forward to getting that into the 911. unfortunately, 914's won't benefit from the carbon-fiber strut brace that adds significantly to the cost since the front bulkhead is as stiff as any brace could be. i'll be triangulating my strut brace with a fabricated bracket and a CF tube from another source...

when i'm done there will be no rubber in the suspension. and there's already darned little sound-deadening. i'll let you know about road noise :-)

(in re not stiff enough to need monoballs, i'm running 22mm front/28mm rear torsion bars, 27mm front/23mm rear antiroll bars and Bilstein 'Rallye' dambers ...)
