Another note on the Jaycee spring plate retainers. They don't allow for the outside rubber bushing. I have looked at these many times and never even thought about it before. Its just metal on metal


The point of those retainers is to eliminate the outer rubber or polyurethathane bushing. Cars that make a lot of power can deform the bushings during hard launches. This causes toe-in changes that can make the handeling unstable. The brass bushings wont deform and therefore maintain consistant suspension geometry. Not necessary on that car other than for looks.
