    Polyurethane Front Sway Bar bushings

    I am preparing to replace my Shocks and springs soon and I am thinking of upgrading the Front swaybar bushings while I'm in there to Polyurethane. I realize they are stiffer and all that. MY question is the only ones I see available are from Delorean Parts Northwest and Delorean Go. Any recommendations on whish is better? Do you have either of these installed on your Delorean and what do you think? Thanks for any input.

    I believe another choice you have is DPI.

    Does DPI have the sway bar to lower control arm bushings in poly as well?

    +1 on the DPNW kit, I have that kit on my car, very good quality kit and doesn't break the bank to purchase. Re the bushes, from what I have heard from other owners over the years, only go with poly bushes on the front anti roll bar (part numbers 100774 and 108912). For all other suspension bushes you are best off sticking with rubber unless you like a harsh ride.

    I've had DMC EU front springs on my car for the last 7 years and I'm very happy with them. Shocks will be a future upgrade for me, but I will be going the tried and tested route of Spax.

    Turns out that I am actually using DPI's poly bushings all around. I apparently forgot I had these installed until I replaced my ARB tonight. I think they ride well, no complaints. Pict below, not sure how many miles I have on them, but I am also running Josh's stainless LCAs.

    I have Toby’s and DMCEU springs/shocks. They work great.
