Hey everyone,

I saw that BMR is running a sale for pretty much all their GTO parts, so I figured I may as well cash in on this deal while I can. I was looking through their parts and remembered I need to do bushings on the Goat, so why not now?

I know my rear bushings are sagging which is common, but I'm not sure exactly which bushings need to be replaced. Since there's a 15% discount, I may as well do them all before I start suspension and serious power upgrades.

More specifically, which bushings would be the most beneficial if I was going to do coil overs?

Strut Mount, Radius Rod, and Rear Crossmember bushings are the big ones.

Motor mounts, trans mount, and differential mount should also be addressed, but I don't think BMR carries those.

strut bushing front or rear or both?

I was thinking about hitting up Hinsons for most of the bushings they currently offer

I'm going to be getting a set of tranny and motor mounts from Hinson pretty soon before I do my H/C/I and new clutch. When I talked to the GTO-specific tech at BMR today, he recommended the bushings you said I should get. I think I'm going to do those and get a set of Pedders 3/8' drop springs while I'm at it, the stock springs are too soft for the weight of the car.

The strut mounts are for the front of the car. You can get shock mounts in the rear, but they don't tend to deteriorate like the other rubber because they are in the trunk. They are cheap regardless, so it won't hurt.

The springs are soft, and they sag like a sumbitch.
Can you even get the Pedders stuff anymore? I know Kollar sells springs, but I thought the Pedders well dried up a while ago.
