Thread: Tubular front control arms

I am sorry if it was covered before but I currently have a set of Whiteline control arm bushings waiting to be installed. What is the benifit of using the delrin instead? If it truely is an upgrade I will buy it with the delrin. I am going to shoot you the rest of the money when I get back from vacation on Monday if thats cool.

Thats fine ( As far as payment on Monday). Delrin is a much much better material then poly because it does not flex. I noticed that when installing these on joes car there is no wheel hop at all, the car stays planted. Also out bushings have grooves in them for grease, so no squeaking.

One thing you should consider is that you are going to give up your increased caster when going with delrin, so it's a tradeoff:

More caster vs less wheel hop (with delrin)

For guys that go road racing/HPDE I'd go with whiteline...but that's just me.

Both of you seem to know quite a bit more about this stuff than I do. I am leaning towards the Whiteline bushings as I am betting I can convince Overkill to make a set of removable traction bars for the control arms basically eliminating wheel hop and getting the best of both worlds.

If both of you guys agree that is what I will do. I know there are some downsides to traction bars hence I will remove them for street driving and when I go to the strip I can bolt them on.

If you use Camber/Caster plates there would be no need for the 1 degree or so of the caster that the whiteline bushings give you. Plus, you can get a more dialed in number with camber/caster plates.

I would go with delrin, but I dont make any less or more by providing them.

Well @#$%&^&!!! I have GC plates and I opted to keep my Whiteline bushings based on the conversations earlier in the post. I going to go with what I got.

Mark me down for the delrin as I have a set of Caster/Camber plates.

Just sent payment today.
