I picked up a new Pontiac Enthusiasts magazine at Barnes and Noble. I was trying to figure out, they talked a lot about bushings' and how they affect how well a car rolls, and holds it's own while in a turn. Are there any kits out there that will help with tweaking turns, as far as bushings are concerned?

 

if you really wanna look into handling for your f-body...dealing with the bushings or not. go to the autocross and road racing forum on this board and do some searching then ask some questions....

 

It really comes down to what (precise) behavior you want to address and what sort of street-driving tradeoffs you are willing to accept.

Polyurethane bushings will reduce flex and quicken response at every point you install them where rubber bushings are currently installed. This will just move the responsibility of suspension response to the swaybars, springs and shocks. If you've still got sloppy shocks, etc. it will just be sloppy that much quicker...

If you are interested in body roll, there are three items: swaybars, springs and shocks. You can greatly increase turn-in response and reduce *some* body roll by putting in a heavier front bar and possibly a heavier rear bar. Pair that up with a quality shock package and you'll have a reasonably compliant road ride quality and a tighter overall suspension package. The next step would likely be the springs. However, unlike the swaybars, the springs will influence everything about ride quality and you may find that the tradeoff isn't worth it...

What do you want to do with the car? Street-only? Autocross? Open Track? Road race? Knowing what you want to do will go a long way towards getting specific advice to address your specific requirements...

That's where most of us autoxers and roadracers hang out now. Like KeithO said, swaybars, shocks and springs make the biggest difference. I'd start with good shocks first, and then upgrade the sway bars, and finally the springs. I just went to Koni DAs on the front of my Firehawk and it made a HUGE difference. You can get away with the Koni SAs and get the same benefits for street use, as I don't use the second adjustment on the street.

 

Yes there are poly bushing kits for f bodies. Check supporting vendors like TByrne or Thunder Racing, if they don't have them Summit will.
