hey any one hear anything about the control arm bushings from psi-fi they seem to good to be true from what i red on their site
does anyone have these bushing installed in their car and if so what kind of gains are we talking about? the site says about .1-.2 in the 1/4 and no wheel hop so that means lower 60ft right?
so i this the only mod i should get if i pick only one???

yes, it will help the wheel hop and you will cut lower 60' times at the track...

i know TopofNY has them and theres a few others... Pat@never2muchboost racing has them also... they are sexyness, haha

a good set of mounts and these bushings will eliminate wheelhop under 99% of circumstances...

they are very good, ive put them in a few cars and very impressed how well they work.if you put mounts in it elimates majority of the wheel hop but you will still get it at the track.lowering the car also helps but mounts+traction bushings+coilovers=hard launches and no hop

i know how to drive my car to but every little bit helps seems to good to be true thats all... i figure i drop it and do the mounts all at the same time to ummm save time... anyone got a press i can use, psi-fi is out of the preassembled ones and i dont wanna drive all the way down there to have something done i can do myself

save yourself the money, i can think of a few ppl who have gone from s2 to s1. i have personally driven a s2/ no toys with other mods...didn't pull close to what mine does.

s2 no toys = the suck

can't compare a toys and a non-toys car, it does make that much of a difference.

I have Nemos bushings on my 2004 Eblue and Psi-fi's bushings on my 11 second Red SRT.

I can very fairly give a head to head comparision....

I believe both products are a good buy, as both helped us to lower 60ft times.

I do give a slight edge to Nemos because they feel better, firmer, less noise. This is not a knock on Psi-Fi, as I will stick with their parts in the Red car.

I don't think you go wrong with either. I believe Nemo was asking $235...

Whomever gives the better price, go with it.

do you have to retighten them after awhile like the psi fi? that was the only thing keeping me from getting them.

I have not had to do this on either car yet, but I am going to check the Eblue and see if it needs it here soon, as Mopar Stage 1lowering springs are going on the car...

I wanted the Psi Fi but couldnt afford them...so instead i got the Prothane urethane suspension bushing kit which includes solid urethane control arm bushings. i also have JLM top and bottom motor mounts and mopar springs with the ACR/PT Cruiser sway bars...

all in all, i love my set-up. car handles better, a tad louder but wheel hop is virtually gone. however if i had the money i would get IPP coilovers with the psi-fi bushings. but if ur goin for an inexpensive set-up that has great results then i recommend mine.

We had the car at their shop (Ant's house at the time) the wednesday of the week they were released. Ant did the install, and I've checked them a couple of times since, they were a-okay...

i have the psi-fi LCA bushings, coilovers, and all 3 boomba mounts and 225 kdw's, and have yet to wheelhop at all. i can spin almost all the way to the top of second and it jsut spins. ONe thing though, no matter what i do, i can't get the bushings to stop squeaking, i've greased, lossened etc, and it works for a little while, then it squeaks again. From what i've heard Nemo's don't squeak because it uses delrin instead of aluminum for the front bushing. I'm gonna see if he'll sell me just that part, and i'll see how i like it after that :D . but yea, other than the squeaks, these things are AWESOME

mine don't squeek at all. are they too tight maybe?

that's what i was told, so i lossened them up, i greased them, lossened some more etc. no matter what i did, they would be good for a week or so, then squeak again. I'm not really liking the idea of ripping apart my suspension once a week to get rid of the squeak from a $275 part, so i figured i'd at least try nemo's delrin inserts to see if those get rid of the squeaks.

don't know if he'll sell just the delrin though. From what i've heard in general, they seem to be equal as far as quality and effectiveness. Rage's are a little cheaper, and I know that MY psi-fi ones squeak. Every car is different, so can't go by jsut me, but if i was to do it over again, i'd go with Rage, even if for no other reason than to save $30 or $40. Although, i thought someone was coming out with tubular front LCA's, if that were the case, then i'd forget about that, and jsut go with the tubulars, but i can't find them anywhere :(
