It's black, ugly, unreliable, a tree fell on it and it's been in a barn for ten years. That's about it. Pictures.

Okay I added a VC and Kiggly HLA/oil pressure regulator. Besides that and removing that stupid intake filter/silencer it's stock. Or was.. Wheel bearings, axles and half the brakes. Then the harmonic balancer took a schist on the test drive. SWEEEET.

Anyone local ever find a solution to not having the lower bushings on 1g rear shocks? Ol' Cornfed sold me these KYB and Teins way back without 'em. KYB won't come through on replacements either.

Looks alright for a POS.

The 245s are a little over-kill and I get slight rubbing..especially with the front lowered. Car sits bad ass though. REALLY wish someone made a set of replacement rear bushing for the trailing arms so I could level it out. Definitely needs more love in the brake category. CTS-V brakes are the plan but idk.

Fun fact; those wheels are off of the old silver 1,000HP Evo. of MAPs..whatever happened to that car I wonder..? I know the engine got pulled because of the flywheel micro-welding to the crank. Hmm.. Enough of my rambling!

They do make replacement bushings, its part of the master kit.

I should've been more specific. Bushings for the rear shocks where they bolt to the trailing arms.

Does Energy make them? Otherwise, hit up RockAuto.com, replacement KYB rear shocks are only $25 :lol:

From reading on 'Tuners and a Talk/Tech page/group on Facebook it seems they are just plain not available. I've considered the new shock route. I'd probably end up getting all four new and that's a bit more substantial (obviously). Plus because of wholesale close-outs only one of each is around $25.

I'd probably jump up to the AGX since I have the GR-2 now..even though both are essentially a "garbage" option compared to something nice like a Koni setup. Sad they discontinued the rears. Come to think of it...the AWD Mirage has AGXs in it and that's not going anywhere anytime soon...

Hmm..

Stupid transfer case seal was leaking so I got the yoke kit and some other junk. Hopefully all that happened was the balancer came apart. I was reading horror stories of the balancer hitting and taking the timing belt out. If that's the case there might be a nice fire at our shop this weekend.

My bad I didn't catch the bushings you were looking for, that's insane no one makes them.

Might have to contact some of these people making custom parts.
