Those turned out really nice WD!
Thanks - but they came like that ... :giggle:

J&M offer them in silver, black and red - so I didn't need to do anything with them :like:

WD :like:

Even better, as that saved you some coin not having to pay to get them done.

They look like they match the Steeda pieces that you’ve already had Anodized.

From the homework I did when I was shopping, I would argue any perceived performance difference between a poly bushing and a bearing is going to be minimal, so why risk the NVH. Plust I used a few recommendations of poly for handling/road course and the other for drag.

The J&M vertical links look great and as they have rubber washers no wear or noise is to be expected due to debris in the bearing. So in the end they should be quite long lasting, shouldn‘t they?

I'm hoping so, but with my low mileage / dry weather only use, I won't be the best to advise on that aspect :like:

I have delrin. I would have gone spherical if it wasn’t for winter Salt. No direct NVH increase, but I did have to disassemble, clean and lube after a year. They were squeaking terribly. Now all is OK again.

edit: also do subframe lockouts if you haven’t already.

Yes, that’s true. I‘m planning to go for the SuperPro Traction Kit TRC5500 for the subframe.

I’ve been going back and forth on vertical links. Is there any tangible benefit to upgrade for a car that is a daily and primarily just a street car? Might see an occasional HPDE or something but that would only be a couple times a year at most. My car also sees road salt and stuff in the winter.

I keep being told I'm wrong but on my car the vertical links were the last piece in getting rid of wheel hop.

I did STEEDA cradle bushing kit, some wheel hop went away, later added the UPR pro-series V-links, wheel hop is no more. And more planted in the twisties.
