EvoMs got me to get all those early this year. from racingbrake.com and map
They're "CF" mudflaps from ebay! you can form the plastic with a heatgun

I'll take you up on that Dallas, thanks!
I might try the low profile tube... maybe you can make a bezel for me so I can mount the ducting on the bumper lip

OK - my memory sucks. ON my first run out - I had a nasty slide at the finish. We deal with a lot of loose gravel on this lot. I laid on the brakes too hard and this is probably what either did it or began the early stages of it. I DIDN'T check the front tires until I removed them for the day.
I do remember that turning left to right - there was a weird dead spot - which was probably the cording/missing rubber....

Can anyone chime in on the use of Delrin for bushings on the evo? More specifically, for the rear trailing arm?
A) Would there be any performance benefit over a poly trailing arm bushing?
B) If so - are there places that would custom make one?
Thanks!

The rear trailing arm bushing needs to move rotationally (the axis of the bushing) and along the plane created by the pivot axis and ball joint pivot point. This is because whole upright assembly moves in an arc. You can/should only use delrin in a pivot that moves purely axially. Like the upper control arm would be an example of that.
Yes, dont.

So poly - only - is the way to go for us in STU for that rear trailing arm then?
Yep. You could hypothetically do a spherical, but I feel thats a spot that is very low need for it. Its small angle movement with its length of the suspension travel range. I run poly there too and in all the SSB trailing arms.
