Another question for you. I have your Polyurethane engine mounts in my car. What is the difference in going with the Nylon ones instead?

Any idea of which wheels are lighter? The D-force 17x9 or the new 17x9 MR1-R at TR, weighing in at 16.3lbs each:

Always read the numbers on Tire Rack with a HUGE grain of salt...

I've measured the D-Force 17x9 at 16.6 pounds. I have yet to weigh anything bought from TR and had it be close to what they claim.

I have not seen a BBK that the 17x9 D-Force cannot clear... well, I guess a 14" rotor might need to go for 18" wheels.

Nylon ones are firmer. Not fun for some people on the street -some added vibration.

Car won't be driven on the street much, except driving to events. I think I will try swapping them to the Nylon ones.

Have you guys tried swapping out the rear subframe, diff and rear trailing arm bushings for stiffer durometer bushings?

I know what they're going to say about the RTABs, just make sure you put new stock ones in and add the Vorshlag RTAB limiters.

That is what is in the car now. I was wondering if there was any reason to go with stiffer bushings?
