Message	improvement to handling. I was very surprised when I made the changes. My opinion is that Stillen's full delrin bushings are the best solution from a standpoint of compromise between rigidity and vibration dampening. I have installed those in my TT rear. However, they are hard to install; from people's experience here, it appears that the spacers alone probably get you a lot of the function of full bushings with minimal labor. RSR
