I bought the Battle version aluminum rack bushings and braided power steering hose from driftmotion. I have been very happy with both of them other than a bit of noise/vibration that transmits through the steering wheel when turning, but that is to be expected with solid bushings.

The whine is probably coming from a lack of sufficient ps fluid or air in the system. Check the ps dipstick to make sure theres enough.
People dont sell bushings because people will buy them and leave them in forever. If you want solid, go for battle version's aluminum, though because theyre solid, they transfer every vibration from the road to your hands
If you want better than stock, run r2 bushings, do search on here. Actually, a lot of this info couldve been had with a search.

where exactly did you get the daizens from? unless tm engineering popped back into business while I wasn't paying attention, I'm not sure you`ll be getting much, reasoning behind me not mentioning daizen.

I purchased a set through TM about 2 weeks back, they showed up in just a couple of days, but with all the negative comments about TM, I would be cautious for sure.

Thanks,
Rick

Between the R2, Daizen, and Battle Version, which are the best for a DD?

I love my solid aluminum ones and my car is no race car. I don't notice any vibrations at all. I'm on Megan ez coils if that makes a difference.

I have the bv aluminum ones and I like them.
You will not get the added vibrations as this is not a drive line part than transfer harmonics to the chassis so cheap easy fix.
