Geno sells some for the rear carrier housing, and www.mn12performance.com sells stuff for the front end. :Beer

Yes....you just have to click on the performance parts link on the upper left hand side of the screen and it will show you the Mark VIII stuff. I would link ya, but the way that site works it only links you to the home page. I have the poly front end from them, and the poly rear stuff from Geno on my car. :Beer

This is where I got my rear poly bushings:
Rear knuckle kit (http://vintageperformancemotorcars.com/bushingkit.htm)
It's cheaper than MN12.


Here is a link to the front poly bushings. I plan on doing these later in the year.
Front suspension kit (http://www.mn12performance.com/mn12parts/fsk100.htm)


What our car needs is poly bushings on the subframe and poly bushings where the rear upper and lower control arm attach to the subframe.

I use the Kenny Brown aluminum bushings. You'll spend more, but what a difference!

Aluminum bushings. I might get those. How is the ride quality?

Our rear graphite impregnated carrier bushings are on sale right now for $50.00 but were out of stock for a few weeks.

Big difference! A much more controlled and smooth ride. Definately helped on the highway- those worn stock bushings cause massive wheelhop and nearly sent me sidways at WOT @ 90+ MPH! The Brown aluminums are also adjustable using the washers provided. They're $69 through Mustang Warehouse on eBay. Well worth it- and they came to me through a very pleased T-Bird owner who installed his last year...

Hmmmm...graphite or aluminum? I like the price on the graphite, but what is the big difference? Will I feel it? What lasts longer?

Aluminum will last the longest. You will feel it, no matter which you choose.

For a normally aspirated engine? Nah, waste of money. If you have a blower or the bottle, you can probably expect better gains or throttle response. But I wouldn't bother for N/A applications; a guy with a N/A Mustang with a Bullit intake says he felt no difference whatsoever adding the Accufab...
