Reply to "ride quality"

rapierMember

A full set of factory rubber a-arm bushes and sway bar bushes cost me £458 (that's roughly $800).
Ride quality is very good and copes with holes in the road.
They are easy to fit (though the polyurethane bushes are easier).
I replaced my poly bushes with rubber because I was sick of the squeaking (whoever fitted the poly bushes didn't lubricate them.) Also I had both front inner sway bar brackets snap and I reasoned that softer bushes would put less strain on the brackets.

I've given up a little handling for a comfortable ride (and maybe a big job in a few years renewing the rubber bushes).

Most of the guys seem to think I'm a little crazy for doing this

.

Also, the price decision is different for me as I live very near the official DeTomaso dealer in the UK (only a hundred miles or so) and a long way from California - and the shipping and taxes to get parts here from the USA is $$$$$$
