Sup?

Need your help. I'm overhauling my iX, and what i want to do now is to switch out all the bushings for better and harder material.

So does anyone know a site where you can see the size of all the different bushings? I got a manufacturer that can mill them to my speccs. Or in worst case, a site that sell polyurethane for a iX with atleast the hardness of 80ShA.

Live long and prosper

Hi and welcome. Why do you want to stiffen up your IX ? I have one and it's not as if they lack traction or can't go round corners quickly ?

Hi,

I'm going to play around a bit on tracks, and from what i have understood from other drivers, the track driving eats the oem bushings really fast. My only own experience is from my E46 328, but i can't take anything from that since those bushings were 16 years old and probably pretty dry befor i started driving like i stole it.
