Bushing Question

So after researching these bushings, I have found three basic types, and I do not want to buy the same one twice just because it has a different name. I have found the Kartboy shift linkage bushings, and the lancershop underhood bushings. additionally i have found the 8 piece shifter base kit. at www.speed-source.net, they have a shifter cable bushing kit that looks like the www.lancershop.com underhood bushing kit. but where does the Kartboy 4 piece alien green bushings come in? please help
Does anyone have any testimonials that they would care to share with me about any of these products, or does anyone have any information as to whether these pieces coincide?

Looking at the Kartboy bushings, they are the underhood bushings just not in brass but a urethane.

The speed-source bushings are brass for underhood and aluminum for the shifter base bushing. Lancershop bushings are speed-source parts, so it's a matter of how fast you want them because Lancershop don't mess around and gets thier **** out the door a little quicker then speed-source.

urethane is just a step above stock and with the metal its all solid shifting since polyurethane is kinda like hard plastic os what do you think the metal would be

hi guys
dont get to check the forusm as much as i used to.

we used a 95A durometer urethane. its almost hard as rocks but will have just enough dampening to keep them quiet. we tried to use metal in the past but they will wear a little and transfer a vibrations to the shifter assembly.

i should have the inside ones here in a few days
thanks
tom
