Funny thing is IIRC some of the GMPP bars were tubular while others were squared tubed around instead.. Either way a improvement over the stock u shaped ones

Well, the rubber bushings in the GMPP trails are little bit stiffer than the stockers.

This makes sense, I would expect something less buick-esque from a "performance" part. Surely the solid bar makes more difference. The stockers are not even strong enough to really be safe, you can bend em in half without blowing a tire.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Poly bushings would be another improvement but then you have the often noise you'll get from them if you don't lube them.. I can where that would become a issue for most people (same people that don't do regular maintenance) where it sticking to rubber would make more sense.

Poly bushings you say? Has this been done before?

Not that I know of.. I'm just referring to poly since that's what umi and BMR use. Although I'm sure if you get measurements of the stock bushings you can probably source some.

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Drove to work with just my fog lights on. That wasn't fun, it was snowing huge wet flakes and my headlights built up like 1/4 inch of slush on them, basically I had no headlights and they were just lighting up all the snow in front me of blinding me. So i just turned them off and ran fog lights the whole way. Don't want to do that again.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I got severely bummed out. Dorman trailing arms and GMPP square trailing arms are the exact same thing. So I just bought something I already have...for twice the amount I paid for the originals. Here's hoping I can work something out.

Edit: worked out. At least this discovery was made. Now if I could figure out what year this change took place so we can let the masses know, lol.
