URO Suspension Bushings
I asked the URO rep directly in a PM, with no response, so I'll ask the forum. What is your experience with URO brand suspension bushings lately? My mechanic loves them and uses them on his builds.
Any feedback from users recently?

I just rebuilt my 77 Targa suspension with URO bushings front and back. Did it myself. Moderate PITA. I used the HD rubber on the front. In the rear, only replaced the spring arm bushings, not the trailing arm bushings. Replaced the sway bar bushings front and back with URO.
So far very happy. Its only been a few weeks, though.

I understand they have adjusted the density of the bushings so you are good to go. I would get the HD

Drew and everybody else,
Does anybody now have sufficient experience with the URO bushings to say if you are happy with performance / noise / quality etc? Also, do the HD ones work well on a performance oriented street car or are they very hard and add a lot of NVH? Cheers, Lukas
