I thought you used the elastomeric bushings up front with the low friction ER mounts? If I want to use spherical washers, I would have to get the low friction mounts. The originals are too tall to allow washers to be positioned top and bottom... unless I grind them down. After thinking about it 5 lbs of stiction is nothing when considering the loads these bushings will see in use.

Thanks,

Haha, thanks Pete. Yes, you're right, I did use ER rubber up front with the low friction ER mounts (I forgot that I did the whole thing). I figured that I would most likely switch to PolyBronze if I saw more track time, which is why I got ahead of that with the low-friction setup. I'm still happily on the ER rubber for now.

Good luck with the rest of the work!
