Yes, AFI makes a very nice set.


And people need to stop putting so much thought behind replacing the bushings. Granted, the aluminum is much softer, but not a science at all. Just act as you were replacing any other bushing. I have replaced all my bushings with Whiteline pieces and only managed to crack one in the process.
