Why?

they were undersize and kept falling out. Hence why I use superpro these days as they machine the shells to precision tolerance where nolathane have die pressed shells which vary in size.

Okay, these appear to be alright. They have been in for a year or two and have done a few events without any problems.

should be alright then.

Yep. Also Vote1 for SuperPro. Never an issue with their gear. Nolathane on the other hand ...

Yep, Graham runs a tight ship over at Fulcrum. But in this case I've had no problems with the nolathane items. Only issue I've had is with the nolathane strut tops. They have suffered some slight deformation from running on the dirt when the track was not great. I don't really like the design of them either, but for the price I thought I would try them out. they have been replace now with modified suspension concepts ones.

Aside from the bushes, what do you think of the trailing arms? I think I will make some more modifications to them. The talk about the bushings got me thinking about the small end, and they have a tendency for the eyelets to squash together when replacing the bush, so I will add small gusset to prevent this. Also, I need a top on the coil over sleeves as on the dirt they will fill up with mud and rocks etc.

Now that they are boxed, I can probably remove some of the ribbing down the sides also to reduce some unsprung weight, although as a percentage with a live rear axle setup, I think that the additional weight is pretty minor.

Finally got these painted and installed-
Also, I have acquired a moroso accusump. Any reason why I couldn't run the pressure valve via relay off a flex output?

Also a vt booster to vp firewall bracket that I made-
