The car doesn’t wheel hop anymore but I feel the bushings provided are too big, I had to really JAM THEM IN THERE to get it to fit.

How about you just take your existing ones and flat sand them on some 180 grit until they fit better. No need to get super high tech in machining them to fit easier. I mean I could rip a pair off in the lathe but it’ll cost you…

Thanks 6spd-ek, I really appreciate that. I actually ground down the parts until they fit snugly rather than jamming them in there. Car runs like a champ and burns the tires off in 1st and 2nd rather than just slamming the engine around. Love driving it now.
