Is anyone really interested in a set??

The TRD and other Japanese imported sets are about $400, I think I can come up with a set for about half that.

Let me know and I'll persue it, otherwise I'll buy my own and not worry about it.

If you have cornered REALLY hard in your Scion you may have noticed a wierd feeling as the suspension sets as you enter a corner. I noticed this with my Xa shortly after buying it. That feeling comes from the rear suspension bushings flexing as they are loaded for the corner. For really hard cornering/autoX we really need some urathane bushings.

I know a guy in the midwest that does R&D for this type of stuff, in fact he is sending me some prototype urathane bushings to install on my BMW and test for him. I realize the large companies will eventually get around to making them but I am thinking of having him whip up a set for me.

Like the brake lines, if you are interested let me know.

I don't know what the bushings would cost, I would have to buy a stock bushing and ship it to him so he could fab new from urathane/chromemolly. BTW stock rear bushings are over $50 ea.!!
