Hey guys (and gals) I was just wondering what the benefit of using a spherical bearing over a regular poly bushing was? I'm still working on my suspension and I am wondering if it would be better to go with the spherical bearings or the energy suspension bushing kit. So far my upgrades are:
Progress Coilovers
DC5 type-s front calipers
SPC camber kit front and rear (no alignment yet, waiting to get the coilovers on)
ITR 22mm rear sway bar
Hotchkis rear endlinks
I have read that spherical bearings are wear items and are best left on track-only cars as they wear out fairly quickly and are also very noisy. I don't mind noise but does anyone here have any info on their longevity?
Also I'm planning on dropping the car about 1.5" front and rear, do you guys suggest getting the BC roll center adjusters? The description on them says they are necessary for cars dropped more than 2" but I'm wondering if they will help at all? With the way our suspension is designed I figure that anything that can correct the suspension geometry would help.
Last thing but is it worth it to upgrade to a LSD? The car is going to be daily driven but I'm hoping to hit the track in the future when I have more time. Specifically the one I'm looking at is the Quaife LSD as I have been reading that mechanical types are better for a DD than a clutch type.
sooo then lol any help would be appreciated, lots of questions I know :mwink:
thanks!
