Default Whiteline bushings @ Supermiata

Just in: Whiteline control arm bushing kit for the NA/NB. Standard kit includes offset FUCA bushings for camber correction.

Diff bushings optional add on.
https://www.949racing.com/product/wh...-05-mx5-miata/

We have had virtually every PU kit on the market in our shop at one point or another over the last 20 years. The Whiteline kit is the best of them all in our opinion. Little details like chamfers to ease installation, selected surface treatments to help retain grease or eliminate slippage, additional pocket machining to fine tune compliance. Some of these features are only found on Whiteline kits. The offsets are encased in a knurled steel shell unlike the other offsets on the market that utilize both hopes and dreams to stay put. 88 durometer. Made in Australia.

For those curious about our discontinued 863 kit, we will maintain spares availability years to come. We do not offer complete kits made from those spares however.

We forgot to mention in the OP: The kit includes offset front uppers for added camber if you need it. You can of course install them centered for no camber change from OEM range.

Would these work with your 863 bits?

Nope, sorry.

Is there a possibility that you'll sell just the offset FUCA bushings? I just did the 863s, but if there were an option to get offsets only, that might be cool.

Is there an option for a centered bushing? I was all set to recommend the 863 bushing to anyone and everyone who asked, but then the news of their discontinuation came out and I had a sad.

I have one particular customer that is in desperate need of some bushings.

Was going to edit these into my post, but wouldn't work without a new post, so here's some fast-laps-on-stock-bushings-carnage.

We won't be offering a kit w/o the offsets nor will we be offering the offsets separately. Sorry!
Other sellers may offer them separately. We prefer ELBJ for camber correction.

What is your stance on installing grease fittings with these? I assume it is recommended, but I'm curious if the new crosshatch on these is good enough to eliminate the need for them.
I believe SuperPro uses the same crosshatching and guarantee's that they'll never squeak. Don't quote me on that though.

Grease fittings can be added to simplify future maintenance. We do not include zerks.

Why should I choose these over the polyurethane ones? I'm rebuilding my suspension and need new bushings. Almost everyone recommends polyurethane for track use, which is what I use my car for exclusively. I'm curious to know the differences and benefits of these compared to the polyurethane options.

Thanks!

Don't want to hijack Emilio's thread, but:
  • AFAIK, Whiteline ARE poly
  • No, not everyone recommends poly for track use, the bushings megathread should be read by all newbs who are thinking track.
