Just out of curiousity:

For the suspension, are you going for teflon (or other plastic) bearing material (maintenance free) or for copper bearing material (to be greased every now and then)??

For normal road use, would it need a rubber bellow preventing dirt come into the bearing?

after my sva i'm gonna make all oilite bushes,and fit grease nipples to the wishbones,saw a car the other day and the suspension was real free,i'm currently using metalistic and it made it really hard to corner weight,on mine you push the front end down by hand and it stays there and the same nearly when you lift the front up

if it is as easy as chopping off the polybushed ends of the wishbones and trailing arrms, then i will make my way around the car and do all of them and see how it goes.

as for liners, not sure, any ideas?

McGill seconded I doubt you'll beat his prices/speed of delivery.
