Message	This is what I came up with a while back, in regards to the need for tension rod bushing flexion: http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=845322 While the ES bushings are not made of rock, they're not that soft either. I'm sure they give some, but I feel better having the adjustables. As for Nismo's t-rod bushings, it looks like they're just a stiffer version of the stockers: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=54476-RS590 "The more "F" and the less "m" you have, the more "a" you can get." -- Brian Beckman, The Physics of Racing
