Default vlamos or daizen or?

well. i want and need to replace my bushings on my 92 sc300 considering they're 13 years old so... which bushings are better? who makes bushing kits? is it just daizen and vlamos? i want to replace as many as i can. i'm changing the steering rack out too so i'll do the steering rack bushings too. anyone dealt with both bushings before? which do you prefer? why? what are the benefits and downsides of both or all?

Hi, just use the search feature of this section using "valmos" or "diazen" and you will pull a ton of threads on the subject.

Like bmatsu says, there's a TON of stuff on these bushings (too much!!). Let us know if you go with the Vlamos bushings cause I want to know how the money order and Australian $$ conversion worked out.
