I emailed Loogy about his urethane bushings and his stuff is a new
compound that wears like urethane, but has some give to it so you're
not vibrated to death like a race application.  When the cash comes,
I'll be buying his set up for sure  Front control arm sleeves are
stainless steel!! and he offers rear control arm bushings too.
