I reposted this in the Q45 forum too...

Right now, i have some goofy end link rigged up in the rear (its pretty bad, but i was kinda deperate and forgot about it)... I am thinking about buying some poly bushings..

What im not sure about is what the poly frame bushings are supposed to do?? Are they just supposed to hold the sway bar tighter???

I was thinking about trying to run poly in the rear (because thats what needs it most) and then trying the poly in the front later if I want (which i may just get new rubber bushings).. Im afraid having the poly in the front and rear may just bring back the understeer i so dearly hate, but with rubber front and poly rear might make the car pretty neutral, or at least cloes.

does your Q use Z32 sway bars like it used everything else? or are at least the endlinks the same?

if so, you might try solid endlinks from SPL

the poly bushings can cause binding

the sway bars are similar to the Z32 (same design) but different lenghts (since the Q is slightly wider i think)...

I would be buying poly links for the Z32/240. Apparently the end links in the rear are the same.

see where it says endlinks? thats what you need

they should work fine if theyre only different lengths, as long as the links are the same
