Suspension Rebuild, Elephant Racing Polybronze bearings? Options

[william harris]

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)

WEVO made a run of specific 914 uppers without the mounts for the carbon bar...

I have NO idea why people think these roller bearings will create more noise in the car ?? Why would they ??

cool deal on the upper mounts; they are very, very nice parts. i'm going to have to talk to them about getting another strut tube for triangulation - the Brey-Krause tube i got is just a little too long, i think, to go where i want it to, and i'd just as soon run two WEVO struts anyway...

why people -think- the bearings will be noisier is they believe the rubber A-Arm mounts absorb vibrations, and that anything solid will transmit more. probably that's judst generalised from areas like solid engine and transmission mounts, and other places monoballs are used in the suepension.

i'll let you know in my car, but i suspect the OEM rubber bushings in my car turned to iron years ago :-) ...
