Default More new suspension products at Dezod!

Thanks to Dan Gardner (our Scion race team driver) and Energy Suspensions, you too can now run the same poly bushings used to give Dan Gardner an edge and win NASA's PTE and TTE classes. This technology is now available to the public and exclusively through Dezod Motorsports!

I don't understand the use of upgraded bushings all that well. What benefit would they have? And would it be something to consider even though I don't auto x or hardly every beat on my suspension?

The stock endlinks are thin and weak...so much stress being put on them from sway bars and suspension will eventually cause them to snap...

These will allow the suspension to do its job better, at any ride height.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, correct Chris. These will add more responsiveness to the ride and control of the car
