Suspension Bushings?
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.

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.

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.

Can you even get the Pedders stuff anymore? I know Kollar sells springs, but I thought the Pedders well dried up a while ago.
