The CABs that Powell sell go for around $200. The Trailing Bushings are around $300 I believe, maybe a bit less...


I've got the main bushings along with his hardcore bar out back and my car handles like a SOB!!! Love em!

not true. stock ones suck dick, the main problem with them is they contain air gaps and separate from the outer ring and make all kinds of clunking noise (what alot of the ppl on this forum complain about). my brother works at a shop that specializes in suspension and he told me you cant beat moog quality for the price

yeah if you dont track your balt, i feel the moogs are the way to go. they are just more durable and quiet. you wont get the responsiveness of poly or delrin bushings tho...
