Did you get this from the Passenger side, mine came off looking the same, I did a mini write up on my Journal as well, just not as good as this one. Feels great now

Yes that came from my passenger side. Eerie that we share similar characteristics. @cobrabyte's BRZ didn't have this, but his build date was much earlier.

Mine was in March, purchased in June. Mind if you share yours?

Produced also in March, bought in June.

Thanks for the write up. These bushings are the ones I am most interested in, however having come from a car with lots of poly-urethane bushings I don`t want to end up with rattles and vibrations like I did before.

Can you comment on any additional harshness of the ride, or vibrations or rattles now that you have installed them? Thanks!

On good roads, its smooth like butter. I don't hear any additional rattles or noise back there; my tires and exhaust probably mask anything that could be heard.

On bad roads, I would say its marginally harsher. Its not a bad tradeoff though; I rather experience some harshness and get instant response rather than wait for the suspension to settle itself after some rocky road ice cream.

Keep in mind, I've done a bit of work to stiffen the ride so I can't comment on these bushings alone. In the rear I have Racecomp Engineering Springs which are fairly stiff, cusco lower control arms which probably contributes minor stiffness, and these bushings. I also have star specs which howl like a wolf all day.

I've put more than 150 miles in various terrain where I live. Overall these don't add any noticable NVH given the amount of modification present. Hope that helps you.

Those look like stock rear LCAs.

ATL BRZ · 12-12-2012, 03:15 PM

I think the LCAs look aftermarket.

Look like Cuscos in that blue color.

Got these bushing still sitting in the bag. Will have to wait till it gets warmer for me to tackle my suspension. Swaybars still sitting in an unopened box as well.

Great write up. If you are going to do any suspension work or underside work, do it early on. With all the stamped steel the underside is going to be a rusty nasty mess in a few years or less if you are in salt and moisture often.

You're right; OP actually says they're Cusco arms. I was looking at the wrong arm, lol.
