$175 a set.
What do you get? 4 delrin offset bushings, steel sleeves, machine screws, instructions, and about .5 more camber than you have right now. And all ESP legal if you happen to care about rules. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Not cheap, because they weren't easy to get made and that costs money (especially in limited quantities). I've got 16 sets total. Some are already sold or "reserved" by customers I know will be buying them. I figure I have 10 sets up for grabs right now, and if there is a need, I'll make more. |

Are you sure the bushings you have are legal? There was some talk about some prior offset bushings having too much metal content vs. OE. I don't know if it's true, but some folks have been caught cheating before. I'd hate to see you get screwed if that was the case. And no, pleading ignorance is not a defense or we might well have had a different winner in STS @ Nationals. There were things on his car he didn't know were wrong, and got tossed for them.
I sold them already, no skin off my nose if you want to sell them. You just might want to hang on to them until you know you have something legal for sure. Just a thought |

Just a thought Hi Sam, My car is an American Sedan, pertinent rules are in GCR 17.1.7.D.4.d The global west bushings are legal per this ruleset (the way I interpret them...) How are the autocross rules worded? The bushings you make are nice. I just made a mistake and didn't realize the car I bought already had offset bushings installed. Excerpts from the gcr: The gcr is at http://www.scca.org/_FileLibrary/File/GCR2006.pdf 17.1.7.D.4.d.2. On other forms of suspension, camber adjustments may be achieved by the use of shims and/or eccentric bushings. Rear camber shall be no more than 1/2 degree negative per side. 17.1.7.D.4.d.5. Bushing material is unrestricted except that control arm to spindle ball joints must be stock or equivalent replacement. Original unmodified control arms must be retained. |

How are the autocross rules worded? In ESP, they can have no more metallic content that the stock bushings they replace, they may be pinned (to prevent rotation of the offset) but the pin may serve no other purpose, and if the stock bushing uses compliance to allow movement (as both of the lower control arm bushings on a 4th gen do, but especially the caster bushing) then the replacement must also (so a spherical delrin caster bushing is illegal, even if it doesn't shatter). |
