we need more information from a knowledgeable vendor.


what i DO know is that the only thing different between the sport and comfort is the bushing. the added caster is STILL their in both applications.

These are all just different grades of resilient bushings. It's not like we were talking about metal bushings.

Did you swap your 070's off to reduce NVH? If not, always buy the hardest resilient suspension bushings.

Why would you swap top hats and then use soft bushings in an ALK? Think about what the ALK is doing to the control arm. Why would you want to use a soft bushing there?

for one my race ones arent that ugly gold color and i believe that if you have ordered or have them and they are not installed i would keep them. the only difference is the bushing. all of them are harder than stock. you still get the caster, i just wanted it to say i had it. but again i couldnt tell that much of difference in nvh but i also have a light weight flywheel so i cant hear anything past that. imo dont get a light weight flywheel if nvh is a problem.

but sciolist has a great point!!
