The bushings help "support" the alignment, so the toe numbers up front are critical to tread life.

Just and update i went to the dealership friday and my service rep told that my front tires haven't shown any uneven wear. He said, "those bushings you put on really helped!" i've put about 10000 miles on my car after installing them. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE INSTALLING THESE BUSHINGS!

Ordered mine & installed earlier last month while having a new alignment & new set of PSS installed after reading up on the uneven tire wear (which my old tires had at the first 23k miles.

Are these bushings going to lead to less forgiving ride?

I switched to poly prothane bushings on my previous ride, it turned out to be the worst mod
ever as the ride quality became unbearable.

As I read through the posts I noticed two options, duro80 & duro90.
Would the softer duro80 still fix the tire wear issue without sacrificing the ride?

Any feedback is appreciated.

I just installed these bushings yesterday and I have the 90A. I believe they only offer the 90 now. There is no difference in ride quality or harshness. I noticed a big difference in braking feel though. Before I could feel the flex and almost like a nose dive feel, now braking is solid.

I just need to get my alignment done and hopefully have my new PSS tires last a good amount of time!

i second what him ^ said, i have the 90's and not too sure of the difference between the 80's and 90's. probably the 80's are softer, slightly.

This is the reason we have consolidated on stocking the 90 duro only. The 80 might work for a 250 or a GS but the braking loads on the F impose a lot of force on this bushing and the large mass allows for quite a bit of damping to still take place. Let the shocks control your comfort and the bushings control your feedback. If anything these bushings allow better function of the dampers without the torsional effects of the bushing.
