Default Solid Rear Cradle Bushings

We had several people ask us to start making solid aluminum rear cradle bushings.
After some R&D and a summers worth of testing in our shop car I'm proud to say they are ready for production.

We tested these solid bushings in our GTO shop car and was able to improve on our 60ft times. We was able to pull a best of 1.39 60ft time all motor!
Our solid aluminum bushings are cnc machined from 6061T3 aircraft grade aluminum and come as a set for Left and Right.

The rubber OEM rear cradle bushings are soft and flimsy, this allows the rear cradle to move around under hard acceleration, cornering and braking.
The Gforce solid aluminum cradle bushings are a direct bolt in replacement for the OEM rubber bushings.
Solid bushings will stiffen the suspension and movement providing better 60 ft times as well as a firmer feel from the suspension.

Price is $269. for the set (Driver and Passenger side)
Here is a link to the bushings on our web site

Would you put these on a street car, or are they pretty harsh?

It really just depends on the users opinion. Everyone has different opinions of what is drive-able. It does stiffen everything up for sure, and it will transfer a little bit more noise and road feel into the car. But I don't feel its over bearing for a street car.
