Very helpful. Thanks!

Great product. One of the best upgrades I did.

Thanks!

Finally found your channel Lane 😁

Ever had a control arm crack at the threaded hole, in a racing application?

Did you drill the bushings with the same bit as you drilled the holes in the control arms with, without destroying the threads?

Your site lists that these are for the C5 and C6 Base/Grand Sport but only specifically point out the C6 Z06. What about the C5 Z06 ?

All C5's have the same frame so there is only one kit that fits everything C5. The C6 Z06 is called out because it uses an aluminum frame (as does the C6 ZR1) but the base C6 uses a steel frame which requires different bushings.

@@borgmotorsports Thanks for the quick response. I wanted to make sure before I ordered. I just now ordered an offset kit.

Good video! I'm contemplating these for my C5 Corvette. Any chance you know of any Delrin rear shock bushings? Would love to upgrade those as well since I'm on Coilovers. Oh and if there's a holiday sale, do let me know! I know i missed black Friday.

Our Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is the holiday sale. We try to run it for 3-4 weeks. This year it was Nov. 15 through Dec. 15. We don't offer a Delrin shock bushings and I don't know of any that do. The way the shocks are mounted puts them at a slight angle to the axis of rotation and it required multi-axis movement from the bushing. Delrin is no where near as stiff as aluminum, but it's still stiff enough that it doesn't do well in conditions that require multi-axis movement. That's why you can't do Delrin in a lot of multi-link style rear suspensions; the bushings provide multiple axes of movement so they either need to be soft or be spherical bearings. Let me know if that helps and if you have any other questions.

@@borgmotorsports ah bummer I really just missed the sale! What would you recommend for the rear shock mounts then? I can't even find the OEM rubber to just refresh it! Maybe it just doesn't matter?

@@shredandenjoy7311 It really depends on your goals. Sphericals would be the most "race car" choice and companies like aFe make them (as Pfadt brand). I will say, when I put those on my car, the thunking and rattle over bumps got a LOT worse. I personally wouldn't want that on the street, but I'm sure some people don't mind. For reference, my car in the example above is race only. I believe you can get poly bushings for the shock position from several of the poly manufacturers. You could also look for people with damaged rear control arms and try to salvage the bushings from those, although they really aren't meant to be removed or reinstalled like that. The stock bushings in that position don't wear out as quickly as the rest of the suspension bushings.

@@borgmotorsports ah okay, excellent and thanks for your responses. My car is predominantly meant for track use, but I do try and drive it to and from the track days I attend so I'd prefer to not make the car that much stiffer. I'll just run what I have. Thanks for your time!

Thinking about getting these for my drag vette but I'm concerned about rear camber I dont not want any negative camber or maybe 1 degree positive camber (rear) how would I got about adjusting these in the rear

You would just get one of the non-offset versions (Standard or Premium). Those maintain the stock adjustment range of your vehicle. Only the offset kit (which is the one featured in the video) creates more static negative camber than stock. If you wanted more positive camber than your chassis currently provides, you could install some offset bushings in the opposite direction, but I don't know of any customers that have done that.

You make twisting the old bushings out of the front upper arms look much too easy - I about had a hernia and the dog bone or the entire bushing twisted in the arm. I’m going after it with a press and bearing separator & tube .

I ended up using a press to push the bushings out of the c-arms. Easy with a 12 ton press :D No issues boogering up the linings pivot tubes.

Instructions don't reference the spacers at all and I didn't see them because they were in the second level of the box.
