We just went through the entire car and replaced all the OEM rubber bushings with our own delrin and Al. versions.
When we took the car apart... we didn't touch the springs.... keeping the ride height where it was..
Once we installed our new bushings ... And reinstalled the ASTs with springs... The ride height had dropped 2.5"......they (oem bushings) create that much bind.
The OEM rubber bushings are evil in all sorts of ways on this car.
Our suspension now is like butter without load on it.
I cannot wait for next week .... It's going to be a whole new car in Sooooooo many ways.

I hope I am not misunderstanding this...Are you saying a bushing change dropped ride height 2.5 inches? If this is the case what happens to those running on Swift springs and Koni Yellows? Just curious cause I may want to do this.

from my understanding, this phenomena is normal when upgrading from rubber bushings and coilovers are usually the solution to this. if that's not an option, im not sure what else can be done.
