Autotech Poly bushings for the A1 chassis...

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

David - as Nate said, poly's will be a great improvement and make sure 
you use the grease provided. I'm assuming since you said chassis, that 
you're not planning to run the motor mounts...good - they're a little 
too stiff IMHO...

BTW - I recently heard a sort of a wives' tale that the prothane poly 
material is not quite as sturdy as the autotech poly material...ymmv...

**Also, BTW, David - can you ask your ISP to reset their system clock? 
This address has always stamped your posts like 12 hours ahead so they

your opinion, but c'mon!  ;)
