Absolutely, either a Del-alum bushing or an AFCO type solid steel bushing with synthetic grease is a billlion times better for what he's going to use them for. Anything else?

They are not normal polyurethane. They are Delrin with a thermoplastic elastomer modifier. It's good stuff if you have a street/strip setup. Delrin is an acetal and one of the toughest polymeric materials made. It's used in aerospace as a metal substitute.

Definitely many times stronger than stock and stronger than conventional polygraphite.

I have a Delrin/Polyurethane bushing in my wishbone track locator. The race-only joint is a solid rod-end but I drive my car on the street too.

If your plans are race-only, you may want do go to a metallic (more harsh) solid setup but these bushing are as good as it gets for the best of both worlds. They are not advertised as race-only control arms. 99% of the people out there wouldn't want them if they were. They can definitely take some abuse though. I think the control arms look like a pretty good deal.

Plus, you can always change the bushings out if you don't like them and still use the control arms.

Being that the only action my car will ever see is at the track this is the set I bought with the exception that mine are for the stock coil springs and shocks .
