Default lower control arm and panhard bar question

Alright so i am ordering some lower control and a panhard bar and i have seen some with polly bushings and some with Chomemoly/Delrin bushings and i just wanted to know what some pros and cons were to both.

Thanks

The delrin's are sold as a "rebuildable unit" that will stiffen up and reduce the noise people have long associated with rod ends.

Poly is a good option if all out racing is not your main focus.

I would say to look at some double adjustable rod/poly arms.

We've always been a fan of the poly/poly combo. Still works the way it should and quiet. The rod ends have always been way too noisey for street use. If you're all out racing or don't mind the clunkity clunk sound that rod ends gives you (sounds like your rear end about to explode), then go for it. Here are some useful links.

We're a huge fan of BMR Suspension. Exceptional customer service and great quality.

Poly/Poly on the PHB is fine.

I'd do roto-joints or poly-joints for the LCAs. They perform better than poly are quiet like rubber. Even poly adds a lot of NVH on the LCAs.

The Roto-Joint is an awesome feature and allows articulation where poly may bind. If you an adjustable torque arm and are looking to change pinion angle I suggest one end of the panhard bar to have a Roto-Joint. Our control arms with a Roto-Joint on one side are extremely popular as well.

Here is a link to our Roto-Joint to learn a little more about- http://umiperformance.com/catalog/in...age=roto_joint

Poly bushings all around is what I would go for. It's the quietest and simple design. Some of these end pieces on suspension components are over kill. Who needs 15 different pieces in a rod end?

We'll have the Steinjager suspension parts on our website soon for purchase also.

Just give us a couple days for our website to be updated with competitive pricing.
