Default Any affordable control arm bushings?

Hi Guys,

I been looking and looking, and cannot seem to find any real options for control arm bushings/inserts. I would like to not spend an arm and a leg either. What are options out there? For the S2k it seems limited, I see the Asura? (spell check) ones, but I believe those are about 2k. If nothing comes up, I suppose I will just get new OEM control arms. But I would like to see maybe a metal or urithane item.

Thanks

Powerflex?

I don't have information on them but it was a popular upgrade with the DC2 crowd.

Mugen from King motorsports?

They're stiffer hard rubber than stock, but quiet enough for street applications.

hmmm the powerflex seem reasonable. I may try doing the front upper and lower first, then if its good do the rear. does anyone know the price of the mugen kit? i do not see it on the king website.

Is this for a track only car? The Asura ones are worth every penny. I just installed a set on my car, there is now way you could beat the quality or perfomance at that cost. There is a big difference between the monoball kit Asura offers and some stiffer rubber bushings. Keep in mind that installing the bushings takes a long time and some custom press jigs and tools (I don't know if the others mentioned are installed or not)

Yes, its for a track only car, it is not even a street legal car. I would love the Asura kit, but I do not have 2k to spend on doing it. I think I will be doing the powerflex front kit.
