STX bushings?
 
Looks like I might have some spare cash coming up. Currently have KWs, wheel/tires, muffler delete, whiteline rear camber bushings.
Wondering what's are some key bushings to replace to stay legal in STX. Rear subframe bushing are on my list. What else should be?

Rear Subframe..
Control arms bushings
Sway bar bushings

Not sure what else but those are the ones I will be finishing up on..:)
Hope that helps..

Kartboy
Power Flex
Whiteline
and STi
are the manufacturers that I know of.

I have some of these done already..:)

Can't help you on STX legality but AFAIK the bushings out there include:

- Whiteline rear camber correction bushings (see you've got those already)
- Whiteline rear subframe lock down bushings (good call; I'm getting those too).
- Whiteline positive shift bushings
- AVO turbo world front LCA bushings
- AVO turbo world front rear *caster* adjustment bushings.

In their thread on their RCE Yellow review AVO indicated that their front bushings reduced a little slop up there that emerged after installing the springs, and a little more caster can't hurt.

I'm also getting all the Whiteline bushes for the rear to correct my rear camber post-coil over install and to lock the drivetrain and rear end of the car down a bit. Considering doing the AVO bushes at the same time.

Haven't looked at swaybar links yet.

I reckon that all of the above bushings are worth it if possible since they seem to correct weak areas of the car. On the other hand I could be wrong since the car seems to be designed to work with bushings flex?

My 2c. Interested to hear what others think!
