Biggest noticable difference I felt was when I installed the trailing arms with the lower poly bushing too. The car just feel much more solid in the rear. I'm skepital about the sway bars. The front one was bigger, but just has heavy has the stocker. The rear felt the same.

Im in the middle of getting the front control arm bushings and radius rod bushing replaced with the poly stuff.

Are the lower poly bushings for the new trailing arms or another area on the car?

It's for the hub in which the trailing arm connects to.

Side note: if you guys really want to get this stuff, you should go ahead and get a press- usually $125. I had a shop do the pressing for me cus I want to get thus stuff done before the next semister starts.

There's a press at work I can use anytime I need to. Are those bushings available separately or only in a kit?

Separately too and a kit. Just look them up on the BMR website.

They are. I was lurking in the G8 forums yesterday and read that you need to lower the car frist to feel the benifits of the sways.

I know what you mean, just what I've read off the G8 forums. I actually thinking about doing this now. I'm going to try to get use to parking in backwards now before lowering.

huh the bars BMR sells for the panther cars are solid bar (and heavy) but then agian the panthers are bigger and in 98-02 are heavier then the G8

(the 92-97s are lighter do to aluminum body panels and less crash reinforcements)

We don't need any more weight added to these cars... That's for sure.

You may want to add rear main subframe bushings and differential bushings to that list since there is A LOT of deflection when cornering aggressively in these cars...

Polyurethane bushings should be the first thing done on these cars and you can move on up from there.
