SuperFlex Urethane offset FCABs
Finally got around to installing them. Look to be well made and install was a breeze. Steering is a bit sharper and rock solid under heavy braking. Now, if they hold up longer than the stock units I will be very happy! I also broke down and got the Bimmerworld spherical sealed bearing RTABs. A bit spendy but I am sick of spending time changing out the stock units. I should have them in a week or so and will review them after I get them installed. If they are anything like the Dinan monoball units I had on my e39 M5 it will be money well spent and at less than half the price of the Dinan units. I think I only got about 12k miles on the last set of stock RTABs before I could feel the rear end getting a bit wandery. If CA would just start fixing more of it's secondary hwy's my suspension would last longer! How are the roads in Texas???

Unfortunately not much better. Hit one hell of a pot hole this morning. Wasn't able to dodge due to traffic but atleast I was able to slow down.

I have had my sites on doing my control arm bushings as well. Are the super flex the ones to go with? I don't mind some extra feel, as long as it is not harsh. I did the full urethane swap to my 300zx and liked it, so I assume this would be a similar feel change. I did not want to go OEM if there was a better option.
How tough is the rear trailing arm bushing to swap? My car has always been a little "wandery" with a neutral wheel. Ditching the run flats were 90% of it! but I still have more than I think I should. My 1990 z is tighter, so that tells me to keep looking. These were on my list to do. Car is a 04 with 60k and while it seems to have been well taken care of, everything I am looking at it still factory installed. May need to look at the rtab's as well. Is there a go to bushing here? Thanks for any info, trying to work my way I to this.

Sorry, didn't see these replies.
So far I am very happy with the SuperFlex fcabs. A few other members on this board have had them installed for quite awhile and seem to only have positive things to say about them. I think I just solved the last piece of the puzzle for my suspension with the spherical ball joint rtabs. Stock rtabs with limiters is a good way to go also. I just wanted less movement and hopefully better longevity.
