Message	I just bought a RPS Max Street clutch. I knew it comes with an OEM bronze pilot bushing, but I bought a Nismo Pilot Bushing http://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=669&Car_Type=300 as I thought it was an upgrade. But today I read a post saying : "So what happens when the needle bearings die? And they WILL die eventually because there is no constant lube in that location. That is why the OEM BUSHING is bronze. No lubrication needed". Where is the truth ?
